Serving God in Rockford.
Children's Ministry.
Our Children’s Ministry is a place where kids can have a great big life with a great big God. A place where faith, imagination, and learning go hand in hand. A place where loving God is cool and kids rule! Our ministry serves infants through 5th grade. Check out all of the great opportunities for your kids to live their best life now.
“And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” — Deuteronomy 6:6-9

Youth Ministry.
The Broadway Youth Ministry exists to courageously lead students in becoming life long followers of Jesus Christ by being Hope and Life in our city, schools, neighborhoods and families.
“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to[a] his own glory and excellence,by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature. For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” — 2 Peter 1:3-8

Worship and Music Ministry.
The Broadway Covenant Music and Worship Ministry, as one body unified in spirit and with a heart of purity, endeavor to glorify God, to humbly serve Him in a spirit of excellence as ministers of music, hope, and love… Each week it leads others into His divine presence through thanksgiving, praise and worship.
The Music and Worship Ministry at Broadway Covenant Church is dedicated to inspire, encourage, train, and direct those whom God has called into the music ministry with a spirit of service, excellence, sensitivity, purity, humility and strength.
“and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the Lord, “For he is good,for his steadfast love endures for ever,” the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.” — II Chronicles 5:13–14
The Ministry welcomes those who hear God’s calling to join in this mission.

Prayer Ministry.
The mission of the Prayer Ministry is for prayer to be central to every ministry and activity of Broadway Covenant Church and to support each person and each endeavor by specific prayers.
We pray for the requests received by phone, mail or e-mail, prayer requests cards from Sunday services and online from this website. In addition we pray for the needs of our church, our community, our country, our world and all those in authority.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” — James 5:16 E.M.
Bounds, perhaps the father of the modern prayer movement, wrote over a century ago, “God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer. These words cannot be spoken too often. Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God’s saints have been held.”

Community Ministry.
Broadway Covenant Church started as a “Light House on Broadway” with a motto, “Jesus Saves!”
The roots of our church were the Swedish Mission Covenant Church. Our entire heritage has been to emphasize missions both at home and abroad, to bring the simple message that “Jesus Saves” to the community at home and to the rest of the world. As stated in the Great Commission:
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19.

Congregational Care Ministry.
The Congregational Caring Ministry desires to reach out to every person in a loving and supportive way. We have care facilitators that will reach out to comfort, pray and bring the love of Christ to you in a very personal way. In addition, we celebrate our congregation at special events during the years.
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” — John 13:34-35
God speaks and movement happens. Nothing can stand before His voice. At the sound of that voice, our passion for Him causes us to fall to our knees in humble praise, worship and adoration. In addition to this, we understand His desire for us to go about our daily lives in good works, while walking in faith. We are to share His love with others. That, also, is movement.
Caring for our body of believers may include joining a team, rolling up your shirtsleeves and experiencing the joy of serving others. Movement isn’t sitting on the wall as a spectator. We continually press in, constantly moving toward the mark of His high calling by supporting each other.
When we do our best with heart, mind and actions focused on our Savior, we live in the joyous power of His intended movement for us. We are able to see that His manifested supernatural power alongside our own natural. After all is said and done, we stand amazed at what the power of movement has accomplished!
Consider joining in this effort.
