Our History

"Everyone can achieve"

Emma Lee Broady’s educational journey was rooted in San Antonio, Texas. She graduated from Phyllis Wheatley High School May 31, 1945. After beginning her post secondary studies at St. Phillip’s College, Mrs. Broady attended Prairie View A&M and she graduated on May 21, 1950 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Home Economics. For 22 years she continued to impact the lives of young people while teaching at Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School in Fort Worth, Texas.

Mrs. Broady had an unwavering faith in God and in the value of education. She believed that everyone could achieve. The School’s motto, “It’s Never Too Late To Graduate” was a theme she exemplified to the many people who crossed her path. Though she has gone to be with our Lord, Mrs. Broady would be delighted to know that her passion for the success of others continues to live on through Broady Academy which bears her name. We salute the life of this inspiring black woman who through faith and dedication blazed the trail for others to follow.

The Bible
The Bible is the “Word of God.”

God the Father
God the Father is the Creator of everything. He is Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent. God is love.

God the Son, Jesus Christ
Jesus was born of a virgin and came as the once-for-all atonement for the sins of everyone who would accept Him as Savior.

God, the Holy Spirit
He is the author of the Scriptures, the comforter of the saints and assists the believers’ prayers.

A Brief Perspective on the Gifts and Baptism of the Holy Spirit
In salvation, the Holy Spirit brings the sinner to conviction and repentance of sins, gives faith in Jesus Christ’s death as payment for his sins, and brings salvation.

Man
Man was created in God’s own image. Man was created with a physical nature, a mind and will, and a spiritual nature.

Salvation
Salvation is “the gift of God.” Man must repent – turn from their sin; place their faith in what Jesus did for them on the cross.

Security of the Believer and Assurance of Salvation
Sinners are saved by the grace of God alone and kept “saved” by God’s grace alone.

The Church
The word “church” means “called out ones.” The true church is made up of people who have accepted Jesus as Savior and followed Him in believer’s baptism. The characteristics of a New Testament church are found in Acts 2. They are worship, evangelism, teaching, discipleship, community among believers, stewardship and service to others.

Baptism
Baptism is a Greek word that means to immerse, plunge or submerge. Jesus was baptized to establish an example for believers. It is a step of obedience to Jesus, following salvation.

The Lord’s Supper (Communion)

was instituted by Jesus. It is a remembrance of what He did for us on the cross. The elements of the Lord’s Supper (the fruit of the vine and the unleavened bread) are symbolic of Jesus’ blood and His body.

Worship

Is not an activity of the mind; it is a response of the heart.

Stewardship

Believers have a responsibility to care for what God has entrusted to them. (Adopted by the Governing Board March 8, 2020)
