About Us

The Christadelphians are a relatively small religious body, with congregations located in over 120 countries throughout the world, with large groups of Christadelphians in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, North America, India, Asia and Africa. In other countries and continents there are many growing communities of believers, and it is an exciting time to witness the call of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in the lives of men and women in the 21st Century.

The name "Christadelphians" has been in use for nearly 150 years, and it comes from two Greek words and means "brethren in Christ". We are a lay community, and each congregation is also called an "ecclesia" (the Greek New Testament word for church). We have no paid clergy or hierarchy, but all members contribute of their time, resources, energy and enthusiasm voluntarily in service to God. A strong common belief and baptism binds our brotherhood together worldwide as a single fellowship of believers.

We accept the Bible as our only guide and believe it to be the wholly inspired word of God.
