We are the Broady’s

  • We have lived in Colorado since December of 2022. We came from Dallas, TX. The first night we arrived, we were met with 12 inches of snow! It was awesome. I (Justin) am a born Canadian, then Texan, and now love being a Coloradan. Cherish is a thoroughbred Texan who loves being a Coloradan with a little bit of Texas flavor!

  • Our kids are 20, 10, 8, and 4.

  • Cherish and I have been leading ministries together for 10 years. I have 7 years of pastoral experience as an ordained pastor along with a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies.

  • We believe God has called us to start a church for the Loveland, Berthoud & Johnstown (LBJ) communities, and we look forward to what God is doing to do!

  • We come from a background of Baptist and Pentecostal denominations, so we happily call ourselves “Bapticostals” - LOL - that have a vision for God’s Word AND God’s Spirit both being fully alive, active, and unleashed in the church.

  • While starting Coldwater, we also worship and serve at Good Shepherd Church in Loveland

  • We love being involved in the Berthoud Rec Sports League - football, softball, basketball, baseball - all great times!

  • We are a homeschool family and currently belong to a local Classical Conversations group

  • We love going on family hikes in the mountains, watching family movies, sharing Sabbath rest together, hanging with friends, making new friends, hosting dinners and dinner parties, and rooting for the one-day-in-the-distant-future-Superbowl-champs-once-more Dallas Cowboys! That said, the Broncos are a close second, and we still have yet to go and visit the Mile High Stadium…..

Why the name?

The name Coldwater Church comes from the verse “Good news is like cold water for the weary” (Proverbs 25:25). We want our community to know that Christ gives life to the weary, wounded and worn out, so we want this to be a place where you can find rest and find life in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Values

We are a Word-led, Spirit-filled Community on Mission

L - Led by the Word

  • We believe the Word of God is living and active, so we teach and preach verse by verse through books of the Bible so that people can hear from God directly, come to faith, trust Him, and know the Bible for themselves.”
    Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

I - In Community

  • We gather to grow, to be known, be loved, know others, and love others in Christ. Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this.”

    Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together… but encouraging one another.”

F - Filled by the Spirit

  • We believe the Spirit of God is fully alive and active today just as He’s described in Scripture, so we expect God to lead His church with the fullness of His presence in Christlike transformation and supernatural manifestation. 

    Ephesians 5:17, 1 Corinthians 12:7, “Be filled with the Spirit,” and “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.”

E - Equipped for Mission

  • We believe the outcome of a healthy church should be disciples of all ages and stages who know their place in God’s redemptive story, how they’ve been equipped for the work of ministry, and sent out to advance the Gospel.  

    Acts 1:8, Ephesians 4:12, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you to go and be my witnesses,” and “to equip the saints for the work of ministry.”
