The Christadelphians are a world-wide community of people who read and study the Bible and who believe that Jesus will return to the Earth to establish the Kingdom of God.
Our name comes from Colossians 1:2: "to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse...". In the original Greek, this phrase is "adelphos en Christos" (meaning “brothers and sisters in Christ”), which was reordered into "Christadelphian".
The Christadelphians have no central committee that sets organization policy or belief structure. Bible teaching provides guidance on these matters.

Our Beliefs
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is God's only revealed message to humankind, given to bring responsive individuals to the obedience of faith. The Bible is our only authority and we teach that it should be read prayerfully and with care at every opportunity.
God
There is only one eternal, immortal God. Jesus Christ is his only begotten son and the Holy Spirit is his power.
Humans
Humans are mortal and sinners before God. Their whole being is prone to sin and the punishment for sin is death, the end of all life.
Jesus
In his love, God sent his son, the man Jesus into the world to save humans from their sins. Those who believe in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.
Hope
The only hope of life after death is the resurrection of the body and everlasting life in God's kingdom on earth.
The Sacrifice of Christ
Jesus was sinless. He died to show God's righteousness and to redeem those who receive this sacrifice by faith. God raised him from the dead, gave him immortality, granted him all authority in heaven and on earth, and set him as the mediator between God and humans.
The Return of Jesus
Jesus will return to the earth soon. Then he will raise many of the dead, judge them with the living, and give his faithful followers everlasting life in the kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God
The kingdom of God will be established on earth. Jesus will be king in Jerusalem, his dominion worldwide and his government will bring eternal righteousness and peace.
The Promises
The Gospel is inseparable from the promises which God made to Abraham and David in Old Testament times. These promises find their fulfilment in Jesus Christ.
The Way of Salvation
The way to enter the kingdom of God is by faith. This involves belief in the Bible and obedience to its requirements that people confess their sins, repent, be baptised, and follow Jesus faithfully.
