Malvern Christadelphians
Looking for Christ’s coming
A BIBLE BASED COMMUNITY WHO MEET LOCALLY IN GREAT MALVERN
Christadelphians are a part of a worldwide Bible-based community who share a common belief in one God – the Creator of heaven and earth and in His son the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, teaching us to trust in the hope of Israel, that Jesus will return soon to rule over the Kingdom of God on Earth in peace and righteousness.
A FAITH BUILT ON SOLID FOUNDATIONS
We firmly believe that to worship God in the right way, we must get back to true Bible teaching and actively try to apply it in our lives. Many modern and established churches today have compromised true Bible teaching with popularity and current thinking, but the thing is God doesn’t change! God asks us through His Word to understand his purpose with the world and with Israel, to follow the example of His son Jesus in obedience and faith becoming baptised, and to live lives in preparation for Christ’s return and the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth.

What to expect when you visit us
If you have never visited a Christadelphian meeting before, you are more than welcome to come and listen to our regular weekly Public Bible talks held each Sunday at 2pm. (See ‘What’s Coming Up’ to find out when and where)
People tend to find a seat just before the service starts when things quieten down. Like the First Century Christians we have no formal priests or ministers, but one of our local members (who we call the president for that day) will make sure that the service goes smoothly by announcing the hymns, prayers, Bible readings, and the main Bible talk itself. We usually stand for hymns and prayers, but if you feel uncomfortable about this, or any other part of the service, please feel free to just sit quietly.
For our Breaking of Bread service, baptised Christadelphian members only are offered to take a take a piece of bread and sip of wine in remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice, since we share a common belief in Christ’s commandments.
You will notice that all female Christadelphian members will be wearing some form of head covering during the service. This follows the practice set out in 1 Corinthians 11:6 showing us that the head of woman is the man, as the head of man is Christ – that we are all subject to Christ.
The exact order of the service is slightly different on Sunday afternoons than on Wednesday nights, and on both occasions it may be varied to suit the subject being discussed. Usually, though, there will be an opening prayer, hymn and Bible reading. The president will then introduce the speaker for the evening, who will usually speak for about 30 minutes. The meeting then normally concludes with another hymn and prayer.
If you found the talk interesting, please stay behind and talk to the speaker, or any of our members, about what you heard!
