About Us
The seminars are sponsored by the Christadelphians in Cambridge and Toronto, Ontario. Christadelphians (Brethren in Christ) are a group of people located throughout the world whose beliefs reflect the simple teaching of Jesus Christ and his Apostles. Scarcely is the Bible read in today's fast paced lifestyles. Our faith and belief in God propels us to expound His message and Truth. We believe the Bible and what it teaches is right and good in directing our lives and families. In Christ's day, the apostles spread the Gospel message and the commandments of God. We also feel compelled to make known to all who would listen the wonderful plan God has for the whole earth.
About the Presenters
Our presenters are dedicated Bible students, experienced Bible lecturers and teachers who live locally and are committed to local Bible studies to increase Bible literacy. Their shared enthusiasm for the work of the Lord makes for an enjoyable and enlightening experience.
