This section provides useful resources to help you to see fully the hope that God promises to those who love him and to see for yourself what the Bible says about fundamental truths of God’s purpose with the earth. It also points you to useful material on who Jesus was and what his purpose was on the earth. What is provided here is just a sample of the guidance materials available. Please contact us with any specific needs you have.
We are guided by the very basic teachings of the Scriptures. In God’s word, we learn why He created the heavens and the earth. We learn of that golden thread in the Scriptures that shows how God has worked with His people through the ages. We learn that God has made promises to His people and that whoever we are, whether Jew or not, God has reached out to us and offered us a better life now and life forever in His Kingdom, to be reigned over by the Son of God, Jesus.
These resources also provide guidance that will help you through this life and all its times of difficulties. Some will require registration to get to all resources.
A major resource is the written word. Most of what we have in our extensive libarary focuses on the Word of God. Here is a link to some of the latest material in our Library. Please see the Members page where you can also download PDF files that will enable you to search the library by Title, Subject or Author.
The Christadelphian
The most widely distributed Christadelphian magazine is The Christadelphian. It had a predecessor, The Ambassador of the Coming Age, first published by Robert Roberts in 1865. We provide this link and image with the permission of the Christadelphian Magazine and Publishing Association. The CMPA provides a wealth of information related to the The Truth and the Christadelphian fellowship worldwide.
You may subscribe to electronic and/or print copies of the magazine as well as obtain many books and publications at the website of the Christadelphian:
COMMUNITY SERVICES
Through the efforts of a member of our congregation and a national effort to assist the homeless through the “Bags of Love” project, we were able to give 10 sleeping bags to the Salvation Army Shelter in Whittier. The homeless in our community are particularly under duress in the winters. The shelter said they were a blessing and greatly needed.

Seminars, Study Days, Lectures
Under normal circumstances (no pandemic) there are a wealth of sponsored activities. Among these are:
- Study Days — these are held often during times when school is out or in recess. A full Saturday of classes are held centered on a timely subject. This includes usually four classes alond with snack and rest breaks as well as a lunch for refreshment, visiting and talking about the class subjects.
- Seminars — these are usually held in the fall and spring and consist of a six week program that considers God’s promises and His plan of establishing the Kingdom of God on the earth. We can see a golden thread of God’s promises starting withe promises that God made to Adam and Eve in the Garden all through the times of the Patriots of Israel and in the life of Jesus.
- Lectures are held in our facility on various Bible-based subjects that deal with God’s Truth.
- Youth programs are held consisting of weekend activities that are uplifting for the youth, normally those in the teen years.
All events since February have been cancelled but many have been moved to virtual events online. Now that summer is over, these are now awaiting the time when we return to meeting together.
