Broadway United Church
Broadway United Church is a registered Canadian charitable organization focused on the advancement of religion through Christian worship, community programs, and outreach. Designated under the category "Christianity / United," it operates as a worshiping community emphasizing love, fellowship, and the teachings of Jesus Christ[1][2].

Mission and Activities

The church’s mission centers on proclaiming Christian teachings while fostering unity in what it describes as a "broken, divided world." Its activities include in-person and virtual worship services, sacraments, Sunday school, and events such as weddings and funerals[4]. Programs are structured to encourage spiritual growth, community building, and charitable outreach[2][4].

Governance

Governed by a council, the organization’s leadership includes a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and committee heads overseeing areas such as worship, finance, outreach, and property management[5]. The council operates under bylaws revised in July 2021, which emphasize adherence to parliamentary procedures (Bourinot’s Rules of Order) and quarterly meetings excluding July and August[5].

Faith and Affirmation

The church’s theological stance includes an affirmation of individual worth as "children of God," coupled with a focus on sin, redemption, and forgiveness rooted in 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness"[2].

Operations

As a registered charity, Broadway United Church relies on donations to fund its activities. It maintains a collaborative structure, allowing congregational members to attend and participate in council and committee meetings[5][4].
