Liberty Church International is a vibrant community of faith where people of all ethnicities and ages come together to worship and serve God. There’s a contagious expectancy that God is doing something miraculous in each of our lives. And we have confidence in the power of the Gospel to transform, heal, free, and abundantly bless the lives of men and women everywhere who give themselves to Jesus Christ.
We dress comfortably and our worship is enthusiastic.

Membership
Your membership means more than simply signing a piece of paper. It is not a means of salvation; becoming a member of Liberty or any other church does not assure anyone of eternal life in heaven. Becoming a member of Liberty expresses your commitment to this “spiritual family,” a family that worships together, grows in faith together, and serves one another. Members of the early church committed themselves to local fellowships where they devoted themselves to receiving teaching, enjoying fellowship, celebrating community, and joining in prayer.
(Acts 2:42-46)
Apart from a local church, believers have a hard time developing relationships of accountability, a sense of responsibility to the body of Christ and to the world, an intimate sense of community, and a meaningful sense of destiny and purpose. Following the example set by the early church we are committed to connecting with you and desire to help you solidify your faith and find a place at Liberty. We provide a self-paced study called Discovering Church Membership. When you are finished with the study we have a Tie-it-together session with others who have also finished their studies. You will have an opportunity to talk to the pastors one on one if you have questions that weren’t answered in the study. To register for this self-study class fill out a Membership Class Registration Form. You can pick one up at the information table or Download a form here. You will receive your self-study guide and CD when you turn in your form.
