Broadway Christian Church is part of a brotherhood of thousands of
individual congregations. We accept the divinely inspired Word of God
as the only rule of faith and practice for us as Christians. We are
part of the Restoration Movement, striving to restore the New Testament
Church as found in the book of Acts. Seeking to be a New Testament
congregation, our aim is Christian unity.
We have no
denominational affiliation. We simply strive to follow the commandments
and examples set forth in the New Testament. We believe that Jesus
Christ is the only begotten Son of the living God. We expect believers
to repent, or turn from, their sin. This repentance is a godly sorrow
for past sins that leads to a changed life. We encourage believers to
make a public confession of their faith in Jesus Christ as God's Son.
We practice baptism by immersion for the purpose of having our sins
forgiven and receiving the Holy Spirit. This was the only form of
baptism practiced by the New Testament Church.
Our plea to
restore the New Testament Church involves letting go of all creeds,
denominations, and man-made rules. Through the years, a couple of our
slogans have become, "Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible
is silent, we are silent." Another slogan we hold onto is, "No creed
but Christ, no book but the Bible, no name but the divine, no plea but
the Gospel!"
We simply desire to reproduce the church founded by Jesus Christ in doctrine, life, and practice.
