Broadmeadow United Methodist Church is an open and welcoming church community in Jackson’s historic Fondren district. 

Organized in 1949, Broadmeadow literally came to life as the neighborhood was born and has been a mainstay of North Fondren ever since.  Broadmeadow enthusiastically proclaims, “Our Door is Open; Come on in!”

Our Mission

Broadmeadow is committed to being a diverse church, a welcome place for all to come. One of the ways we achieve this mission is by serving one another, our community, and the world, through our worship and our philanthropy. We are a church of real people with real questions who fully acknowledge that we don't have all the answers, but we believe our faith grows out of authentic relationships and honest conversations. We seek to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God.

reconciling ministries network

In February of 2020, Broadmeadow became part of the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN), becoming the first Reconciling United Methodist Church in the state of Mississippi. The Reconciling Ministries Network is an association of individuals, communities, and congregations that seek to promote full inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons in the life of the United Methodist Church.

As of November 2022, Broadmeadow is one of only two Reconciling United Methodist churches in the state.

Accessibility

To make everyone as welcome and comfortable as possible, we have a ramp into the sanctuary and several “short” pews that leave plenty of room for persons using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. The Parlor—where we have Sunday School—and our Fellowship Hall are both located on Broadmeadow’s ground floor. There is also a handicap-accessible restroom across from the Sanctuary.
