The Christadelphians believe the Bible and live according to its principles. The Tawa Christadelphian Ecclesia is a group of bible believers who meet in Tawa, New Zealand.

We believe that the Bible holds the truth about:

• The soon return of Jesus Christ to this earth
• The imminent resurrection of the faithful
• The future establishment on earth of God's ways
• What will happen on earth before Jesus returns
• The answers to the end of war, poverty, disease and death
• The way to personal involvement in God's future with this earth

The name ‘Christadelphian’

It was said of the followers of Christ, “he is not ashamed to call them brothers” (Hebrews 2 v 11). The name Christadelphian (Greek, like the New Testament original) simply means ‘brothers in Christ’.

Our organisation

Our ecclesia's (the Greek word for ‘church’) organise their own affairs, though the pattern is very similar everywhere. Like the ‘elders’ of New Testament times, members are appointed by each ecclesia to manage its affairs and preside at its meetings.

At the weekly meeting for the ‘breaking of bread’, there are hymns, prayers, readings from the Bible, and a short talk (an ‘exhortation’). The bread and wine circulate among all the ‘brothers and sisters’ present. Voluntary collections are taken to meet all the expenses.

Christadelphians hold regular public talks and exhibitions about the Bible and what it teaches, and have produced several public websites to help readers understand the Bible. They also teach children in Sunday Schools and Youth Groups. As a community, Christadelphians try to help and care for each other, with ecclesia's in many parts of the world.
