I can hear Apostle Broadous declare "Glory To GOD"
as only he could when he would stand to preach.
He was indeed a Pastor who loved the people of GOD.
When my dad passed away Apostle and Rev. Glory called
me to pray with me I really thought that was special.
All of our lives have been made much richer for having
Apostle William T. Broadous pass our way!!! I Thank and
Praise GOD for the Life, and Legacy of such a Great
Leader!
Our Beloved Apostle William T. Broadous will be forever
In our heart's and always in our thoughts!
My Brother, my Brother! Apostle Bill. Peace & love!

P.S. Thank you for looking after my wife while I was out of town working
Please pray for the Broadous Family at this hour of sorrow and transition!
I personally will never be the same again! He is a LEGEND to Pacoima and the San Fernando Valley! The corner of Vaughn and Dronfield lost its brightest light and Calvary Baptist Church lost its Captain ! #ApostleWTBroadousLegacy Teria Broadous
You married me, christened and baptized my two children as well as was there for every hospital stay I had. Regardless of how often I said it was not necessary I could count on you being there with a big smile and heart felt prayer before ever surgecial procedure. From the Small, Brown and Harris family we will miss you but forever have you in our hearts. I remember our last conversation very clearly on Mar. 7th 2016.
My mom Hazel Brown was having surgery that morning at 5 AM and as we entered the door of the hospital to check her in who was sitting there in the lobby fully dressed and a big smile on his face? No other than Pastor Bill. I tried to get on you about being there and so early in the morning and all I could hear was "Mother Brown and daughter" good morning. You know I would be here. I laughed and you said lets pray. What a friend my family has had in Pastor Broadous.
To the Broadous family we offer our deepest heart felt condolences.
We were operating on faith. Faith in all that we had learn from the bible, especially the Gospel...but all of that studying and faith was turned to KNOWLEDGE when Pastor had a Holy Ghost experience – A spiritual heavenly mountain top experience..not a social mountain top one like Dr. King's. In Pastor's experience he was filled with the Holy Spirit and basically transported to a heavenly experience where he could feel God's presence and all the goodness that goes with it. When Pastor told me about this experience he had while retreating with his wife Gloria, God had prepared me to know exactly what he was talking about because I had experienced it too while listening to a tape that Pastor Bill had made during Christmas, while I was driving down highway 5. Pastor Bill was driven by that experience...knowing the beauty that laid ahead for him...Now he is in spiritual perfection with our savior and our heavenly father, where I know I will see him again.
You baptized my dad, brother, mother and son and spiritually led us all for many years. I credit my time and membership at Calvary for much of who I am spiritually today. I have special memories of bringing you Christmas fudge, you calling me "daughter", and giving me counsel when I needed it. My one regret was not following through on that Kenion Sunday dinner we talked about but we'll have one in your honor. You will never be forgotten by the Kenion's. Much love.
You will be sorely missed in our community as a light in darkness, a leader and prayer warrior.
The Dorothy Williams family will miss you.
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Reche, Joshua and myself send our deepest condolences to the entire Broadous family. Thank you for sharing your husband, your father and your brother with our family. He was truly a man after God's own heart and a man of integrity. His love for the Lord and God's people was demonstrated by the life he lived, and for that I am grateful! The words of our church vision "everything we do leads to worship" and that was his lifestyle-WORSHIP. He was not just a preacher and Apostle, he was and will forever be my PASTOR! We shared that AGAPE love!
For I know you have raised your arms high in praise, taken a lap of victory, and shouted for joy as you walk around heaven or sit at the feet of the Almighty. I love you with the love of Christ Apostle and you are the best Spiritual Father I could have and I am overjoyed to have served under your stewardship. My prayer is to honor your memory with my continued service in the Body of Christ.
EVERYTHING I DO LEADS TO WORSHIP!!!
My mother Mineola Newman will miss you to and know that she was your biggest supporter.
WE MISS AND LOVE YOU POPPA BROADOUS.

What had me paying attention "LOL"
My Encounter with Apostle
It was March 1996 at TrueWay BC of Los Angeles, Apostle was there in a three day revival. On the last day of the revival he did an altar call so that he could lay hands of us. Well I had seen this on TV, but never had experienced it for myself. I had no knowledge of this man of God, but I knew he was anointed by God, so I decided to go to the altar to see what this was all about. When he laid hands on me, I wept like a baby(it seem like hours) as his team consoled me.
2 Corinthians 5:17NLT (This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life begun!)
I was fire baptisted under the leadership of Apostle WT Broadous as a member of TWBC.
A few years later, some things had occurred in the BOC and the Lord put in my heart to find the man of God that had laid hands on me years earlier. I didn't know what church he was from, nor where the church was located, as a matter of fact I didn't remember his name...so I started asking around and God directed my path to Pacoima. This is where it gets interesting...I came to Calvary to get directions for this problem as it relates to someone else ...little did I know I was going to be dealt with...during one of the the "After Care" services, when I told him my situation...he looked me directly in my face over his glasses and said "first you need to get yourself together", he laid hands of me and this time I went out under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Once I came to, I got up and walk swiftly out of the church and told my then boyfriend (Reche), "you gotta move out, this man just told me all about myself." I did not step foot back in Calvary until I came correct, which was two years later, I came back a married women. Now the rest is history!
He knew me first
When I first visited Calvary I discovered not all preachers sounded like the adults in the Charlie Brown cartoons, I understood what the preacher was saying about God's Word. Then one Sunday he prayed Psalm 27:14 and that is when I began to fall in love with the Word of God, so I responded to the call and joined the body of Christ and became a member of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church of Pacoima. I began attending service and Wednesday Night Corporate Prayer, even Sunday School, you would think I would have known the pastors name but I was never introduced and his name not mentioned I did not. So can you imagine my surprise when one Wednesday night after corporate prayer I hear my name being sung loudly by this strong booming voice, lol. I never really cared for that much, but to turn and see the man I had been listening to (with understanding) preach the Word for about a month was the one singing, now that made me smile.
This was my first personal contact with MY pastor, I was completely caught off guard because to this day I have no idea how he knew my name since we had never been introduced and I never said anything in his class. Yet, it was that night I KNEW I was in the place God wanted for me. I had made the correct choice.
Calvary is my home and as I remember this night I rejoice because Apostle William T. Braodous knew me before I knew him and through him I learned of my Heavenly Father who also knew me before I knew Him.
