What is Broad Street Church of Christ?
Broad Street Church of Christ is a congregation in Scottsboro, Alabama, that combines in-person worship with a digital option for people who cannot attend. Its website presents it as a welcoming local church centered on Bible teaching, with Sunday and midweek services and an active calendar of classes and events.
What the church offers
- Worship and Bible classes: Sunday Bible classes at 9:00 a.m. and morning worship at 9:55 a.m., plus a Sunday evening service at 6:00 p.m. and Wednesday services at 6:30 p.m.
- Digital worship: Live streams for those unable to attend in person, available through the church's own watch page, Facebook, and YouTube.
- Preaching: Randy Brown preaches each Sunday, and recorded sermons are archived and browsable by topic.
- Ministries and events: A range of ministries to join, along with a monthly calendar and upcoming events.
- Location: 613 South Broad Street, Scottsboro, AL 35768, with phone contact and directions provided.
Who it is for
The site suits two main audiences. The first is someone in or near Scottsboro looking for a congregation with traditional Sunday and Wednesday gatherings and structured Bible classes. The second is a person who cannot attend in person—due to illness, travel, or distance—and wants live worship and a searchable sermon archive instead.
A practical next step
If you are considering a visit, check the calendar first so you know whether a class or event is meeting that week, then arrive for the 9:00 a.m. Bible class if you want a smaller setting before the 9:55 a.m. worship. If you cannot attend, use the digital service at the same times and browse the sermon archive by topic to get a sense of the teaching before you visit.
How can I watch the digital worship service if I can't attend in person?
You can watch Broad Street Church of Christ’s digital worship service live through the church’s website or its Facebook and YouTube channels. The site lists Sunday streams at 9:00 a.m., 9:55 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., plus a Wednesday stream at 6:30 p.m. The “Watch Here” option on Broad Street Church of Christ is the simplest starting point; Facebook and YouTube are useful if you already use those platforms or want to watch on a TV, phone or tablet.
Practical ways to watch
- Website stream: Best for a straightforward, church-hosted viewing page.
- Facebook: Convenient if you want notifications or to share the service with someone else.
- YouTube: Good for casting to a TV and for pausing or replaying if you join late.
- Sermon archive: If you miss a live service, the site points to previously recorded sermons from preacher Randy Brown, browsable by topic.
What to check before Sunday
Confirm the current times on the church’s site or social channels, since schedules can change around holidays or special events. The site also notes the in-person location at 613 South Broad Street, Scottsboro, AL, and a phone number if you need to ask about a stream. If you are deciding between platforms, choose YouTube for the most flexible playback and Facebook for the easiest live notification.
What should I expect during my first visit to Broad Street Church of Christ?
Expect a traditional, schedule-driven Sunday: Bible classes at 9:00 a.m., morning worship at 9:55 a.m., and an evening service at 6:00 p.m., with a Wednesday service at 6:30 p.m. The congregation describes itself as a welcoming church in Scottsboro, and the service centers on preaching from God's Word, with Randy Brown as the regular preacher. If you cannot attend in person, the same services are streamed, so you can preview the format before visiting.
What the visit looks like
- Arrive a few minutes early. The 9:00 a.m. Bible class and 9:55 a.m. worship are back-to-back, so arriving at 8:50 gives you time to find a seat and get oriented.
- Two connected hours. Many first-time visitors stay for both the class and the worship service; you can also attend only the 9:55 a.m. worship if you prefer a shorter visit.
- Preaching-focused worship. The emphasis is on a sermon from Scripture, so expect a substantial teaching portion.
- Evening and midweek options. The 6:00 p.m. Sunday service and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday service are available if you want a second, smaller setting.
Practical details
The building is at 613 South Broad Street, Scottsboro, AL 35768, and the phone number is (256) 574-2489. Use the directions link on the site rather than guessing at parking or entrances. The site also lists a monthly calendar and upcoming events, which is the fastest way to check for schedule changes around holidays or special services.
A useful next step
Before you go, browse the sermon archive and the "What to Expect" and "What We Believe" pages. Listening to one sermon tells you more about the teaching style and worship tone than any description. If you have children or specific accessibility needs, call ahead and ask which class or entrance fits your situation.
For comparison, other Churches of Christ in the region publish similar schedules and beliefs, such as Church of Christ; checking a second congregation's "what to expect" page can help you tell which differences are local and which reflect the wider fellowship.
What ministries can I get involved in at Broad Street Church of Christ?
The Broad Street Church of Christ lists involvement through its Ministries at Broad Street section, which points to a full ministry directory rather than naming every group on the homepage. If you are deciding where to start, use that directory as your first step, then match a ministry to your schedule and to whether you prefer serving during Sunday gatherings or in the wider Scottsboro community.
How to choose a ministry
- Start with the ministry directory. The site's "See All Ministries" link is the definitive list of current opportunities, and it is the best place to check for groups that fit your interests.
- Consider your availability. The congregation already gathers Sundays at 9:00 a.m. for Bible classes, 9:55 a.m. for morning worship and 6:00 p.m., plus Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. Ministries tied to those times suit people who are already on site; community-focused work may ask for time outside them.
- Match the role to your comfort level. Some people prefer teaching or leading classes, others prefer behind-the-scenes help, and others want event-based service. The ministry list is the place to see which of those categories exists.
- Ask before committing. A quick call to the church office at (256) 574-2489 can confirm meeting times, current needs and whether a ministry is active right now.
A practical example
Suppose you are new to Scottsboro and want to serve without overcommitting. You could attend Bible class at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, stay for morning worship at 9:55 a.m., and then speak with someone about which ministry needs help. That single visit gives you a feel for the congregation and a chance to ask where your skills fit, rather than signing up blind from a web page.
Useful next step
Visit the Ministries at Broad Street page on Broad Street Church of Christ and note two or three ministries that match your interests. Then check the What's Happening calendar for classes and events, since those listings often show when a ministry is meeting and how to join. If you cannot attend in person, the church also offers a digital worship service, so you can become familiar with the preaching and the congregation before volunteering.
Where can I listen to or read past sermons by Randy Brown?
Past sermons by Randy Brown are available through Broad Street Church of Christ's own sermon archive, linked from the "Preaching the Word" section of the church website. The site notes that Randy Brown preaches from God's Word every Sunday, and the archive lets you browse previously recorded sermons, with an option to browse by topic. If you prefer live or streaming audio/video rather than an archive, the church also points to its digital worship service and its Facebook and YouTube channels.
Start here: visit Broad Street Church of Christ and look for the "Sermon Archive" link under "Preaching the Word." If the archive is audio-only or video-only and you need the other format, use the Facebook or YouTube options listed on the same page.
A practical example: if you missed a Sunday lesson and want to hear it before Wednesday class, open the archive, filter by topic (for instance, a book of the Bible or a life topic), and listen directly. If you are preparing a class or want to follow along with notes, pair the recording with the congregation's Bible class schedule, which the site lists as Sundays at 9:00 a.m. and Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m., so you can compare the archived lesson with the current study.
For broader context on churches of Christ and their emphasis on preaching from Scripture, you can also consult Church of Christ resources, though the Broad Street archive remains the direct source for Randy Brown's sermons.
What events and classes are coming up at Broad Street Church of Christ?
The site points you to two places for current events and classes: a monthly calendar and an upcoming-events list under "What's Happening." Those are the pages to check for dated classes, events and community activities, since the homepage itself only names the recurring weekly schedule rather than individual upcoming items.
Recurring classes and services
These are the standing times listed on the site, useful as the baseline before you look for one-off events:
- Sundays: Bible classes at 9:00 a.m., morning worship at 9:55 a.m., evening worship at 6:00 p.m.
- Wednesdays: 6:30 p.m.
- A digital worship service is offered for anyone unable to attend in person, with viewing options listed alongside the schedule.
Randy Brown is named as the preacher, and a sermon archive is available if you want to browse past messages by topic before visiting.
How to plan around it
If you are deciding whether to attend a specific class or event, start with the monthly calendar, then confirm details by phone at (256) 574-2489, since calendars can change at short notice. The congregation meets at 613 South Broad Street, Scottsboro, AL 35768, and the site provides directions.
For a first visit, the simplest approach is to arrive for the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Bible class rather than the later worship service: classes tend to be smaller and make it easier to ask what is coming up in the next few weeks. If you are specifically looking for a ministry to join, the ministries section is the better starting point, since ongoing involvement is organized there rather than through the events list.
