Our Hope
We accept the Bible as our only guide and believe it to be the inspired word of God. We eagerly look forward to the completion of God’s plan for the world and mankind; the re-establishment of God’s Kingdom when Jesus returns to the earth as God’s appointed King. We believe from the signs about Israel and world events that God has given us in the Bible, that Jesus’ return is imminent.
We are located in many countries throughout the world with large groups of Christadelphians in the United Kingdom and Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North America, South East Asia and Africa. Here at Downend we are a group of about 70 people with a common faith and love for the Bible and its teaching. The name Christadelphians comes from two Greek words and means brothers and sisters in Christ. We are a community of men and women, united by a shared faith based on God’s word in the Bible, who try to follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.

Introducing the Christadelphians
What we believe
We believe that the Bible is God’s word and the only message from him. It teaches us about God and his son Jesus Christ, and his purpose for the world.
- There is only one God – who created the world and continues to work out his plan and purpose with his creation.
- Jesus is the Son of God, and a human being, through his mother Mary.
- Jesus led a sinless life, submitting perfectly to the will of God, even giving his life as a sacrifice for us. God raised him from the dead to an immortal life. Through Jesus, mankind has the opportunity to be saved, if we believe, are baptised, and follow him.
- Jesus is currently in Heaven, at God’s right hand. He will one day soon return to the earth.
- When Jesus returns he will establish God’s Kingdom and rule the earth. Those who have tried to follow him and serve God will be given eternal life in that Kingdom.
- Man is mortal, having no existence when dead. Those that have died – “fallen asleep” – will be resurrected at his return.
