Our Mission
Our guiding purpose is to be a Bible based community where all are included, supported and seek to know God.
We aim to be a Christian community that seek to inspire in all, a love for Jesus Christ, a desire for right living and a consciousness of our duty to God and our fellow man. We demonstrate this through worship, witness, loving support and ministry to the spiritual growth of each other, and our larger community. [2 Peter 1:4-8 and Eccl 12:13]
Our Values
The Bible gives effective direction to our lives. We try to rely fully upon God and develop a faith which is active in prayer and good works. At the same time, however, we recognise that salvation is by grace. With God’s help, we seek to please and obey Him every day, striving to imitate Christ who faithfully obeyed his Father. We aim to be enthusiastic in work, loyal in marriage, generous in giving, dedicated in preaching and happy in our God.
A widespread custom among Christadelphians is to read the Bible every day. We also conduct Bible classes each week. Every Sunday we attend a service we call the “Memorial Meeting” or “Breaking of Bread”. All members partake of bread and wine to remind us of the life and death of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Since we have no paid ministers, our members take turns to serve our community in all its functions – Memorial Meetings, Sunday School, Youth Groups, preaching the gospel locally and overseas and caring for people in need. The Christadelphians are a community working in God’s Service in whatever ways we can.
