With seed funding from several local churches, Broad Street Ministry was created as a broad-minded faith community with a mission to foster creativity, extend inclusive hospitality, and work for a more just world through civic engagement.

To that end, BSM began serving a Thursday meal in 2008.POSITION OVERVIEW:The CEO is responsible for developing, implementing, and executing BSM’s overall strategy.
