Christadelphians are a worldwide community whose aim is to follow as closely as possible the teaching & example of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Bible.  We endeavour to read the whole Bible at least once every year.  In a world full of uncertainties we enjoy a simple, direct and logical faith, offering peace and contentment now, and the promise of everlasting joy to come.
Our beliefs are based solely upon the Bible.  We believe the Bible is the inspired revelation of God to humankind.  The Bible outlines who God is, how He worked in the past and what He will do in the future. We aim to follow Jesus Christ and therefore we trust in the Scriptures as confidently as Jesus and his Apostles did:
  • Paul the Apostle wrote:  "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16)
     
  • Peter the Apostle wrote:  "For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." (2 Peter 1:21)
     
  • Peter the Apostle wrote:  "The things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven." (1 Peter 1:12)
     
  • Jesus said: "The Scripture cannot be broken." (John 10:35)
