Who are the Christadelphians?

CHRISTADELPHIANS are members of a small group of Bible believers found in many different countries, who base their beliefs and practices on the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and his apostles.

Like the earliest Christian believers, they do not have any central organisation: each congregation is responsible for its own affairs, and they are united by sharing the same basic beliefs.

Christadelphians believe in adult immersion, in God’s developing purpose with Earth, the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and a future kingdom on Earth. They believe that death is unconsciousness in the grave, and look forward to the resurrection — the return of Christ, when those who are found faithful will be granted eternal life in God’s Kingdom.

Christadelphians aim to read from the Bible each day, for they believe it is inspired by God and, therefore, a valuable guide to their lives - BibleQuizzes.org.uk has been created by the Christadelphians to encourage you to read from your bible every day.
