With not a lot of information about Broadway Baptist Church, it appears that it was destroyed by fire in 1916 and the remains were purchased in 1970 to become Sunlight Missionary Baptist Church.

Sunlight Missionary Baptist Church - 3501 Broadway
Reverend J. R. Humphrey organized Sunlight Missionary Baptist Church in 1930. After Reverend Humphrey’s death in 1951, Reverend R.L. Davenport was elected pastor. Under his leadership the congregation purchased the building that formerly housed the Broadway Baptist Church at 35th Street and Broadway. In October 1970, members of the church marched from their home of nearly thirty years on Market Street to their grand new building on Broadway for a dedication service; ten years later the congregation held a mortgage-burning ceremony.
