The event wants to bring together youths from various CBM branches in Sierra Leone (Freetown, Kenema, Bo, Blama, Wanjama, Talia etc.), for strengthening the relationship in the Body of Christ and to prepare the mindset of young people to be more focused and committed to the things of God.
In this world of materialism the spiritual is often forgotten. Youngsters are quickly taken by the modern gadgets and the facilities of internet social media and youtube video-clips.
At the conference various youth leaders shall be able to deliver messages of sound doctrine to sway the minds of youths from such worldly activities. In the Christadelphian community it is important to put the mind on the true values of life.
We and the CYC Youths believe that the youngsters are the
future of the church. For that reason Stepping Toes is still looking for young people to write on the platform and to help create a magazine where youngsters also could find stuff interesting for them.
This gathering in Bo City shall enable the youngsters to come together to discuss issues of
importance that ensures the development of their various Ecclesiae.
Several activities have been lined up to
ensure a successful conference. These include:
- Bible Discussions in the morning and evening,
- general meetings to discussing and addressing issues of development that unites the Christadelphian Family in Sierra Leone,
- outdoor preaching, elections of new executives and indoor games.

The Christadelphians, “Brothers and
Sisters in Christ”, are a body of Bible believing people, who aim to
live by faith in Jesus Christ, according to the teaching of his
followers from the first century AD, finding their instruction in a
wholly inspired Bible. Central to Christadelphian belief is that Christ
will one day return to the Earth to establish the Kingdom of God and
grant eternal life to his people – those who have tried to follow him
and God.
The fundamental Christadelphian beliefs
are:
The Bible is God’s word and the only message from him. It is
without error, except for copying and translation errors. (2 Timothy
3:16, Hebrews 1:1. See also: The Bible, Why I Believe the Bible, and Alleged Biblical Errors.)
There is only one God – the Father. The Holy Spirit is God’s power. (John 17:3, Luke 1:35, Deuteronomy 6:4. See also God, Jesus and the Crucifixion, and The Trinity.)
Jesus is the Son of God, and also the
son of a human being, his mother Mary, so making him Son of Man. Jesus
was tempted just like us because of this. But Jesus was not just a great
man, he was the Son of the Most High God, and was perfect. (Luke
1:30-31, John 3:18.See also God, Jesus and the Crucifixion, and The Trinity)
Man is mortal, having no existence when dead. (Psalm 6:5, Isaiah 38:18, Acts 2:29,34)
By living a sinless life, ending with
his sacrificial death by crucifixion, Jesus has opened the way of
salvation from death. (Hebrews 4:15, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Corinthians15:
20-23, Galatians 3:27-29)
Belief and baptism are essential steps to salvation. (Mark 16:16. See also Baptism and Salvation.)
God raised Jesus from death. Jesus is
currently in Heaven, on God’s right hand. He will one day return. (Acts
10:40, Romans 8:34, Acts 1:11)
When Jesus returns, he will raise his
“sleeping” followers from death and grant immortality to the faithful
who have tried to live by God’s precepts. (1 Corinthians 15:20-22)
His followers will help him to rule,
bringing justice, righteousness and peace to the whole world – the
Kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 15:23-26).
