They're a small sect, very close-minded and cultic. But they have some interesting doctrines that are probably true.
They rarely have church buildings, except in the UK and Australia (where most of them are). Here in the US they meet mostly in homes or rental halls.
They deny the trinity, they deny the personality of the devil (believeing that the devil is 'sin in the flesh'), they deny the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, they deny the doctrine of eternal torment.
They believe that Jesus will return visibly and physically, and will rule the earth for 1,000 years with all of the Christadelphians who ever lived (and maybe a few others, depending on how liberal of a Christadelphian you are.)
They believe that knowledge saves you. If you believe properly and are immersed into water, you are saved. You will stay saved as long as you believe properly and regularly go to Christadelphian meetings, or start one of your own.
They're very schismatic. They break up into little Christadelphian sects all of the time, over piddly little doctrines.
I'd keep clear of them, personally.
