Who We Are

Broadway Church is moving to a code-owned platform that supports long-term growth, content operations and future member experiences.

‍We believe that every person was created to experience and express the purest love imaginable.

WHO WE ARE

One Church, Multiple Locations

Broadway Church is a New Testament church with multiple congregations that exists for the supremacy of the name and purpose of Jesus. We believe Christ's life, death and resurrection are the only hope for humanity and renewal of our fallen world, and we're dedicated to being a part of what He's doing in our city and throughout the nations.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Our Foundational Beliefs

Our Core Values

  • Christ-centered: Everything we do must move people closer to the image of Jesus Christ. This means that the core, content, and character of every ministry must be biblically based.
  • Generosity: We recognize that we are ultimately managers, not owners in this life. This means that we will freely contribute of the time, talents, and treasures that God has entrusted to us.
  • Relevance: We strive to understand and creatively speak to our times. This means that we will intentionally engage our world so that we might positively affect our world.
  • Accountable Relationships: We believe that we are responsible to and for one another. This means that we will create healthy avenues for community and communication.
  • Dynamic Spirituality: We understand that a vibrant relationship with God’s Spirit is essential to effective living. This means that we will pursue, teach, equip, and model a Spirit-led life.
  • Safe Environments: We desire to be a non-threatening community where one can both seek and grow in Christ. This means that the tone of every gathering and relationship will be loving, full of grace and truth.

Our Strategy

  • Our Sunday services are modelled after Christ’s approach to the Sermon on The Mount: On that day, His challenge was to address a crowd of people from all over the religious spectrum - from Roman soldiers to Jewish scholars and everyone in between. Christ communicated in a way that all could understand. Our Sunday services are designed with a similar goal in mind: To communicate in a way that impacts the seeker yet also equips the believer.
  • Our Bible classes and discipleship ministries are modelled after Christ’s approach to those who sought Him out privately after hearing Him teach publicly: Christ responded to their hunger by providing them with further and deeper insights. Our Bible classes and discipleship ministries are designed with a similar dynamic in mind: providing opportunities for motivated people to interact with one another, while pursuing truth at a deeper and more personal level.
  • Our outreach strategy also includes meeting the needs of our community, our province and our world in very practical ways: Through the CityReach Care Society, we can mobilize our “why” by partnering with schools, running a food bank, feeding the underprivileged and organizing events for the families in our community. Through our Global Outreach Fund we mobilize our “why" by partnering with an indigenous church and university ministries in our province. Internationally we help build schools, drill freshwater wells, and respond to humanitarian disasters as well as support the personal budgets of people who feel called across the globe to serve in their country of burden. All this is done so that those in our city, our province and our world can experience the purest love imaginable.
