The following are the core beliefs of Liberty based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s Word, given to us by God and inspired by Him. We believe that the Bible is completely true and trustworthy in all that it teaches. We believe the 66 books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, are the complete and authoritative Word of God. We believe that God not only inspired His Word, but has faithfully preserved it throughout history. We believe the Bible should be understood according to the meaning intended by the original considering both the language and the historical and cultural context in which it was written.
God
We believe there is one God who has always existed, who depends on nothing outside of Himself, and who is infinite and unchanging. We believe this one God exists eternally in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, yet there is only one God.
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only Savior of the world. He is fully God and has always existed as God. We believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and that He was God in the flesh. Jesus came to reveal who God is, to make a way for people to be forgiven and brought back into a relationship with God, and ultimately to rule as King over God’s kingdom.
Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life and willingly have himself as the sacrifice for our sines. His death on the cross was the payment for our sin, made possible through the shedding of his blood. God demonstrated that this sacrifice was accepted by raising Jesus from the dead.
After His resurrection,Jesus returned to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is a person, not simply a force or presence. He is fully God and has all the attributes of God. We believe the Holy Spirit has been actively involved in God’s work throughout human history.
We believe that beginning at Pentecost, the Holy Spirit began a special ministry in and through the Church that will continue until Jesus returns for His Church. His work Includes convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He also gives new life to those who place their faith in Jesus Christ, helps Believers grow in holiness, seals them as belonging to god, and fills them with His presence and power.

Humanity and Sin
We believe that every person is born with a sinful nature because of the sin that entered through Adam. Because of this sinful nature, we are not only Sinners by nature but also choose to sin. No one can overcome sin or make themselves right with God through their own efforts.
We believe our only hope is found in Jesus Christ. Salvation begins with recognizing our sinful condition and our inability to save ourselves, turning away from our sin, and placing our faith in Jesus as the only Savior. Through His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus made a way for us to be forgiven and restored to a relationship with God.
We believe that those who reject Jesus Christ and refuse His gift of salvation remain separated from God and face eternal judgment in the Lake of Fire (Hell).

The Church
We believe the Church began with Jesus calling His apostles and was empowered by the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Today, the local church is God’s primary means of carrying out His work in the world.
We believe a local church is made up of people who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ and followed His command to be baptized. Believers come together as a church family to worship God, encourage one another, serve others, grow in their faith, and remember Jesus through Communion.

The Return of Christ and the Future
We believe Jesus will first return to gather His Church in the Rapture before a seven-year period of Tribulation. Following the Tribulation, Jesus will return visibly and physically to earth and will reign as King for 1,000 year in the Millennial Kingdom.
After Christ’s thousand-year reign, we believe there will be a final judgment preceding God establishing a new heaven and a new earth, where He will dwell with His people forever.
