Welcome to Broadway Baptist Church
Broadway Baptist Church has been a spiritual cornerstone since 1791, rooted in worship, community, and service. Our congregation prioritises hospitality, encouraging relationships, and sharing Christ's love through action. We offer dynamic worship services, including traditional hymn-based gatherings and modern Sunday services at 10:30 am. Our ministries cater to all ages, from children's groups like Fireworks to youth activities and senior-focused events. The church actively engages in environmental stewardship through our Eco Group and supports local outreach initiatives.With a heritage of over 230 years, we blend historical significance with contemporary relevance, maintaining a 21st-century vision while preserving our Baptist traditions. Our team of dedicated leaders, including Minister Rashell Beya and Youth and Children's Worker Chrissy Hadley, fosters spiritual growth through weekly services, small groups, and community partnerships. The church's physical transformation mirrors our commitment to personal and collective spiritual development, guided by John 15:5's teaching on abiding in Christ.
