The Christadelphians in Stratford welcome you to any of their meetings at the Christadelphian Hall in Rother Street near the Civic Centre. There is no charge for attendance, no dress code, and no obligations whatsoever.
At some point in our lives, many of us contemplate the future, asking ourselves, "Is there more to life than just what I see?" or simply, "What's life all about?" Christadelphians believe the answers to these and other important questions can be found in the Bible, God's message to us all. We want to tell everyone about our faith and our confidence in God.
The Christadelphians were founded in 1847 by a Scottish doctor, John Thomas. The name means "Brothers in Christ". There are Christadelphians in most countries of the world, united by a common faith in the Gospel preached by Jesus Christ and his apostles in the first century. It is this faith and its appeal to people of all lifestyles which brought the community into existence, and which keeps it active now.
There have been Christadelphians in Stratford and the surrounding area for over 100 years. We meet in several other local villages and towns including Halford Bridge, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Evesham, Studley and Redditch.
We hope to see you soon. For a map of how to find us, click here.
This meeting is intended specifically for visitors. It lasts around an hour and is followed by light refreshments. Our lay preachers, who may come from anywhere in Britain, speak on different subjects each week, and the whole range of Bible teaching is covered over time. Various techniques are used to present the Bible message, including videos and illustrated talks.
This meeting lasts around an hour and a half. It is the focal point of our week, when we remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and its significance for each of us.
Visitors can join in with most activities, including following the Bible readings, singing hymns and listening to the sermon (which we call the "exhortation"), but please note that taking the communion is restricted to Christadelphians. Visitors are not expected to contribute to our collections.
This informal meeting lasts around one hour. A speaker talks about his studies on a particular subject, after which there is time for discussion. A positive and uplifting meeting for Christadelphians and visitors alike.
On request, we would be happy to consider organising Sunday School facilities and/or study groups for young people.
All arrangements subject to God's will.
