We believe that the Bible gives us effective direction in our lives. With God’s help, we try to please and obey Him every day, striving to imitate Jesus Christ who faithfully obeyed his Father perfectly. Therefore, we endeavor to be enthusiastic in work, loyal in marriage, generous in giving, compassionate to others, dedicated in sharing our hope, and happy in our God.

The name ‘Christadelphian’ simply means ‘brethren in Christ’ and was taken from Colossians chapter 1 verse 2 which reads, ‘To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.’ As the New Testament was originally written in the Greek language, the word for Christ is ‘Christos’ and the word for brethren is ‘adelphos’, so when you put the two together it forms Christadelphian.

We commonly refer to our congregation as an ‘ecclesia’. This is the New Testament Greek word usually translated as ‘church’ in our English Bibles. Over the years, a church has come to refer more to a building rather than the people. Since the building in which we meet has no relevance to our salvation (Acts 7:48-50), we call ourselves an ‘ecclesia’, that is, a people called out to serve God. As the Bible states in Ephesians 2:18-22, God’s building is His people.
