Broadway United Methodist Church, 106 Church St, Broadway, NC 27505, US

Cameron Grove A.M.E. Zion Church was organized in 1876, and built on an acre of land donated by Mr. Thomas Cameron. Five dollars were given to Mr. Cameron so the land could be legally deeded. However, he returned the money to help in building the church. Services were first held in a brush arbor, then a simple one-room structure, and additions were made to this. Early memberships included the Cameron, McLean, Prince, Womack, Buie, Douglas, Brewington, Marks, Rollins, Thomas and Cox families. In 1954 a new brick sanctuary was constructed. The Christian Education Annex was completed and dedicated on July 1, 1990. The current worship Center was built and dedicated in July 2005. Our mission is to increase our love for God and to help meet the needs of mankind by Loving God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Implicit in this statement is the belief that the church should have a positive relationship to God vertically and a positive relationship to humankind horizontally. Therefore, we love God and are obedient to His commandments and loyal to all for which He and His Kingdom stands. We also share in the mission of His Son Jesus Christ, in healing the sick, helping the blind to receive sight, the lame to walk, the leper to be cleansed, the deaf to hear, the dead to be raised, and the poor to have the Good News preached to them. Luke 4: 18.
