Adults
Adult Spiritual Formation
The Adult Ministry of Broadway Baptist Church seeks to form people into the image of Christ that they may better minister to and serve others.
Our larger vision is to provide a “spiritual nutrition center” for those who seek God…a place where we can be fed through a combination of Bible study, prayer, shared worship, ministry to others, small group studies and fellowship with other Christians.
As a spiritual nutrition center, Broadway becomes more and more a place to grow in the likeness of Christ so that we can say with the apostle Paul, “It is not I who lives, but Christ who lives in me.”
We invite you to join us on this journey.
Adult ministries at Broadway are almost universally open to both men and women.

Small Groups
Scripture is filled with stories of God working among individuals as they relate to one another.
In the early church, followers of Jesus met in homes to pray together, care for each other, learn from each other, and nurture one another in their faith. Jesus modeled this pattern with his disciples as he selected a small group of 12 to be his inner circle. Through small groups, we hope to help one another grow spiritually so that we are better equipped to live as disciples in the world.
