What is Liberty Baptist Church?

We are an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church.

Liberty Baptist Church is a distinctly Baptist church. This means that we hold to the biblical doctrines of Baptist churches passed on from the time of the New Testament.

Liberty Baptist Church is an Independent church. This means we hold no denominational ties such as SBC or BMA. Local churches are the only institutions Jesus gave His authority in which to carry out the great commission.

Liberty Baptist Church is a Fundamental church. This means that we hold to the fundamentals of the Word of God. Trying to keep a close to the New Testament example as possible.

While we strive to keep our worship time lively & exciting, we consider ourselves conservative and traditional.
Our Bible is the King James.
Our heartbeat is Missions.
Our goal is to win people to Christ and equip believers for serving God.

If you are searching for a church, Come join us.
If you are unsure about your eternal destiny, Come talk to us.
You'll be glad you did!

Pastor, Jeremy R. Johnson
