At Broadway we love ridiculously!
No matter your age, race, ethnicity, immigration status, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, economic condition, or physical or mental ability, you are loved by God and will be loved by us.
Here are a few things that make Broadway such a special place.
WE SEE ABUNDANCE.
We believe everybody is a child of God with gifts to offer the world. Unfortunately, society often overlooks these gifts, seeing only labels and categories, needs and stereotypes. Our church building is located in the heart of Indianapolis and our congregation comes from a variety of experiences and backgrounds. We strive to focus on the many, diverse gifts of our neighbors and members, as together we embody the Beloved Community.
WE ARE A JOYOUS COMMUNITY.
We believe life is to be joyous, even in the midst of the sorrow and pain. In our life together, we celebrate one another’s milestones, successes, and ministries, as well as, honor ministries that have come to an end. In worship, we share stories of faith, laugh, sing, lift up our joys and concerns to God, and “pass the peace” to the entire congregation!
WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND HAVE FAITH.
We believe that the Spirit of God is alive in all people, and God's imprint is on every person. God's work of love and reconciliation with creation includes the life and ministry of people of all genders, all races, all sexual orientations, and all abilities. We seek to acknowledge and honor this spirit by having conversations and listening for opportunities to connect and invest in the passions, interests, and gifts we all have to share with the world.
WE PRACTICE EXTRAVAGANT GRACE AND LOVE.
We know that God loves us all, and nothing that we do or don’t do can change that reality. God’s grace has been revealed to us in Jesus, who came in love to give abundant life, to restore sight to the blind, to heal the sick and brokenhearted, to proclaim good news to the poor, and to release the oppressed. Broadway Church actively resists our denomination’s policies which exclude LGBTQIA+ persons from full inclusion in the life and ministry of the United Methodist Church. We choose to live together now as the Beloved Community God desires as a witness to what ultimately we hope will become the official position of the United Methodist Church.
WE TAKE THE BIBLE SERIOUSLY BUT NOT LITERALLY.
We know the stories and example of Jesus inform our Christian life. However, we are not afraid to doubt, question, and grapple with the stories of our faith and the faiths of others as we walk together on our spiritual journeys.
