New Members
This past Sunday, July 17, we had five new members make the decision to join Broadway.

Brian, Sarah, and Luke Brisco made their decision to become members. The Brisco family also includes Lila and Carter. They live here in Fort Worth and previously attended University Baptist Church. 

Cecil White and Ruben Artery have also made the decision to join Broadway. Cecil and Ruben are married and live California and have been attending online for some time. Cecil was previously a member at Broadway while on staff at Southwestern Seminary as Asst. Director of the Library, he is retired now. Ruben is a Building Engineer at Stanford Healthcare. They previously attended Lakeshore Avenue Baptist Church in Oakland, CA.
