Broadmoor Baptist Church was a Baptist church located in Memphis, Tennessee, affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The church closed in 2012.

History

In the latter part of 1959, a group met together to form a fellowship that was later to become a church. On March 13, 1960, the Broadmoor Chapel became the Broadmoor Baptist Church, a cooperating church with the Shelby Baptist Association, the Tennessee Baptist Convention, and the Southern Baptist Convention. Having purchased a dairy barn at the present site, along with 3 acres (12,000 m²) of land, the church constructed a series of buildings over several years to accommodate the growth. Dr. Ira Cole was the first pastor, serving from 1959 until 1972. Broadmoor Baptist Church now occupies nearly 40 acres (160,000 m²) of land, with educational space for 1200 and a worship center seating 3000.
