Q. Why are you doing this?

A. Our faith and belief in God makes us share His message and truth. We believe the Bible is inspired by God, and what it teaches is right and good, directing our lives and families. In Christ's day, the apostles spread the gospel message and the commandments of God. We too, feel compelled to make known to all who would like to hear, the wonderful plan God has for the earth. Our aim is to encourage you to discover what the Bible says for itself.

Q. Will I be asked to be 'saved' or 'join' the Christadelphians at the end of the course?

A. No! You will not be pressured during or at the completion of the course. The purpose of the course is to equip you with the necessary tools to make your own decisions about what you have learned from God's Word.

About the Christadelphians ...

Christadelphians adopted their name in the mid 1880's. It means "Brothers and Sisters in Christ." Christadelphians are to be found in countries all over the world. They are bound together by a common faith in the Gospel preached by Christ and his apostles in the first century. It was this faith and its appeal to men and women from all walks of life which brought the community into existence. Christadelphians do not believe that any of their members, past or present, have received any special revelation direct from God. The Christadelphian faith rests solely on the Bible as the inspired Word of God.
