Broadway St. Formerly known as The Good News Club, the club has changed names and moved to the First Baptist Church location. The club is free. Activities include games and songs and Bible lessons.

Children can walk with the Truth Scouts Club teachers after school from Peculiar Elementary School to the club location, or they can be transported by parents.
