History
[edit]In the latter part of 1959, a group met together to form a fellowship that was later to become a church. On March 13, 1960, the Broadmoor Chapel became the Broadmoor Baptist Church, a cooperating church with the Shelby Baptist Association, the Tennessee Baptist Convention, and the Southern Baptist Convention. Having purchased a dairy barn at the present site, along with 3 acres (12,000 m2) of land, the church constructed a series of buildings over several years to accommodate the growth. Dr. Ira Cole was the first pastor, serving from 1959 until 1972. Broadmoor Baptist Church now occupies nearly 40 acres (160,000 m2) of land, with educational space for 1200 and a worship center seating 3000.
