We
- The Christadelphians - are a worldwide, Bible-based community. We
believe the Bible is God's only written revelation to mankind, and as
such we try to read from it every day to help
us follow God's teachings in our lives. It teaches us
to love God deeply and show his love to all our neighbors.
'Christadelphia' is a Greek word meaning "Brothers in
Christ". Through baptism into Christ, members become
part of a spiritual family.
Our faith and convictions revolve around the
assurance that almighty God will intervene
to radically change
this desperate world and bring perfect peace, justice and
healing. This will be accomplished through his son Jesus, who
will return to reign as God's appointed King over the
whole earth.
We believe that all people are sinners and all people die.
But God has offered a priceless FREE gift - that is complete
Forgiveness of sins and resurrection from death to Eternal
life. This amazing gift is granted to all those who
diligently seek him, and who believe and follow his
son Jesus. Jesus was a man who lived a perfect life,
and then died at the hands of wicked, jealous men.
But God has raised him back to life and he has been living
with God for the past 2000 years.
We meet every Sunday morning for a service in
remembrance of Jesus our saviour - we remember his life, death and
resurrection to remind and encourage one another to follow Jesus'
example. Christadelphians do not emphasize on
a "church" building but rather on
the members/people who together form a spiritual 'Temple' of
the living God. Members of the church have different roles to play and
all are encouraged to keep this spiritual temple holy as we
are united as a body with Christ
as our leader/head. We do not have priests but rather members
themselves perform
various duties in the church such as prayer, readings, sermons
and praise.
In addition to the Sunday service, many members would also meet
one mid-week evening to study the Bible together. In
Bangalore, we meet on Wednesdays in the homes of different
members on a rotation basis. These classes
help members to
discuss, question and reason on various topics of the Bible.
Christadelphians try to keep closely to the beliefs of the believers in
the first century A.D. (ie after Christ) We do not follow any
other book other than the Bible. |
