Welcome to
Liberty
Baptist Church
Biblical Preaching. Compassionate Community. Reverent Worship.
Helping people know Christ, grow in His Word, and connect in biblical community.
Come As You Are — You’re Family Here.
You don’t have to know anybody, dress a certain way, or know your way around a Bible to fit in here. We sing the great hymns of the faith, we open the Scriptures and explain them plainly, and we’ll welcome you the moment you walk through the doors.
Our church family is led by Pastor Anthony Aiken, who joined Liberty Baptist Church in 2026. Whether you’re exploring faith for the very first time or looking for a church home after years away, there’s a warm seat waiting for you this Sunday — and nobody will put you on the spot.
