Our Beliefs

There must be many people who feel that there is something outstandingly significant about the person and the teaching of Jesus Christ. Yet when they survey 'Christianity', both in its history and its modern forms, they find a wide variety of churches and communities, all with their differing foundations, teachings and practices. Feeling bewildered by the existence of so many groups claiming the name 'Christian', they may well give up the quest for 'the truth' as hopeless.

This short page is written to draw the attention of the interested enquirer to the existence of a community of believers in Christ, calling themselves 'Christadelphians', organised in groups found throughout the world. Wherever they exist they have a fellowship founded upon an agreed basis of beliefs. Fundamental to their faith is the principle that what Christ and his apostles taught in the first century was truth, and it is still the truth today. The Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are their sole authority.

The Christadelphians are a world wide community of believers in the 'things concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ.'We believe that:

• There is one God, who is the creator and sustainer of all life

• The Bible is God's inspired word, his message to humankind

• God revealed himself in the life and work of his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose to eternal life

• Jesus will return to the earth to raise the dead and establish God's everlasting Kingdom

• We can be saved from sin and death by faith in God and Jesus Christ, by baptism, and by living lives in the service of the Lord.
