The Christadelphians are a small religious body who
have attempted to get back to the faith and character of the early Christian
church.
We have been in existence for nearly 150 years. The
name "Christadelphians" comes from two Greek words and means "brothers
in Christ".
Col 1:2; Heb
2:11
We are located in many countries throughout the world
with large groups of Christadelphians in the United Kingdom and Euro~e,
Australia and New Zealand, North Amenca, South East Asia and Africa. Like the
early Christians, we meet in homes, rented rooms and, in some cases, our own
halls.
Acts
1:13-14; 2:46-47; 18:7; 19:9; 28:30
We are a lay community patterned after first century
Christianity. Each congregation is called an "ecclesia" (the New
Testament word for church). We have no paid clergy or church hierarchy. Members
of each congregation are addressed as 'brother' or 'sister', and all are
involved in organising our activities. All members contribute their time and
energy voluntarily in service to God. A strong common belief binds our
brotherhood together.
Rom 12:4-8; 1Cor 12:4-27; Gal 3:28
We accept the Bible as our only guide and believe it
to be the inspired word of God. Membership is extended to those with similar
beliefs after being baptised (fully immersed in water).
