Shortly after Jesus' resurrection, his 11 faithful apostles and other disciples (about 120 altogether) were all together in Jerusalem. They were obeying Jesus' instruction to stay there until they received a gift from him. At Pentecost 33 CE they were gathered together and were filled with holy spirit which made them speak in different languages and gave them an understanding of the scriptures they may not have had before. That was the gift Jesus promised. After this they went out and preached and about 3000 people were baptized in the name of Jesus. These were the first Christians. You can read this account in Acts chapters 1 and 2.
