Youth Ministry at Broadway is in a new transition phase. Broadway has just called it's first fulltime youth minister in Richard Williams. He has served as a youth minister in a previous church for six years. He comes to Broadway from Arkansas where he served as associate pastor and minister of education/outreach for the past three years after graduating from seminary. His passion is that students become disciples of Christ. Why is it so important for students to become disciples (followers of Christ)? Richard say's "Presently, our teenagers live in a time where world-wide cultures are undergoing dramatic changes. Today's teenagers are not satisfied with the answer, "Because the Bible says so". So youth ministers must go deeper and present the cultures arguments and Christianity's arguments for truth. This is why developing fully devoted followers of Christ is so significant. Teenagers want and need truth. They need truth in order to face this culture. This is my goal as a youth minister. Currently, our youth ministry focus is discipleship training on Wednesday evenings. It begins with a meal at 6:00 p.m. in the church's fellowship hall and a discipleship time from 6:30 - 7:15 p.m. in the newly renovated youth room located on the second floor of the educational building. Our youth sign team meets and rehearses in the youth room on Wednesday at 5:15 p.m. There is also Sunday school at 9:20 a.m. Youth choir and very soon a new puppet ministry meet on Sunday evenings at 5:00 p.m. As we continue to seek God's direction we will plan  and transition into other youth ministries. We ask you to come and check us out. For more information call Richard at the church (638-4219), toll free (1-888-638-4219).
