Discipleship
- That following baptism, a believer must make a reasonable
attempt to obey the teaching of Christ and the Apostles
by developing Christ-like characteristics and lifestyle.
Baptised believers have a duty to meet with other brothers
and sisters of similar belief - to regularly break bread
and drink wine in memory of Christ's sacrifice. To pray,
read and study the Bible together and to preach the Gospel
to others.
Unless other people hold the same beliefs as outlined
above, we are not at liberty to worship and share in fellowship
with them. Those who cease to believe or practice the
truth as defined and described in the Bible cease to be
in fellowship with the body of true believers. |

Organisation
- Christadelphians are a community of ordinary men and
women who have read the Bible, believe its teaching and
try to obey its demands. We do not have any central authority
or committee structure, we seek to hold faith without
distinction as to race or class, and without bishops or
clergy, we worship and witness in a simple and consistent
way. We do not observe any day or feasts other than the
breaking of bread each week, nor do we practice rituals
other than baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We believe
in a lifestyle which reflects our faith - marriage and
family life are important, care for those in need and
a commitment to sound principles in all aspects of life
will hopefully characterise our discipleship.
Christadelphians do not become involved in politics and
associated activities as they see themselves as temporary
citizens of this world - responsible and law-abiding but
believing that the present constitution is temporary and
that involvement in such organisation is incompatible
with the hope of the coming Kingdom. |

Christadelphians
are committed to Bible reading and study, to prayer
and to fellowship. To preaching and preparation for
the return of Jesus Christ. We ask you to consider these
things that you may also share in our fellowship by
belief, baptism and a 'new life in Christ' to enable
you to prepare for the return of Jesus from heaven to
earth.
