Broadway is a place where God’s people come to worship and service in Jesus’ name. Through music they experience God’s presence in their lives and find a place to share their talents as His disciples. Music is the universal language of the soul; even though we may be diverse in many ways, our love for and enjoyment of music becomes our great common denominator. Broadway is rich in its musical tradition and innovation, whether it is choir, hand bells, instruments, or praise band. Mr. Ergenbright has enjoyed being a part of this congregation and its rich heritage of faith, service, and discipleship.
