*COMMENCING MARCH 4TH*
Throughout the month of March we’ll have two services at our Tribeca Community at 10am and 12pm.
Our Tribeca service has been getting a little crowded lately so we’re making room for you to bring friends and family!
So whether you’re an early riser or someone prefers a slow start on Sundays… one of the new service times we’re trialling in March will work for you.
As usual services will be at the Tribeca Cinemas (54 Varick St) and there will be a Liberty Kids program available in both services.

Last week Liberty Church kicked off our new model connect groups for 2012 - Connect Groups 2.0. We were so excited to learn that this season of connect groups saw a monumental increase in people wanting to get plugged in to our church community. As last year there was an average of 70 people in connect groups each week, for the Connect Group 2.0 re-launch we’ve already had 185 sign-ups, and that number is still growing!
Our connect groups gather at locations all across New York City and last for 8-12 weeks. Each group now has its own unique focus and topic, ranging in everything from “Basics of Christianity” to “Busy Young Professionals.” No matter what your interests are or season of life you’re in, we think you’ll be able to find a connect group that is the perfect fit for you to get plugged into our church community.
We’re hopeful to see Connect Groups 2.0 lead to an even stronger community and discipleship opportunities in Liberty Church. It as always been our vision as a church to cultivate a sense of community and family here in New York City, and it’s exciting to already be seeing that growth from the outset of 2012.
If you’re interested in getting involved in a connect group, it’s not too late! There are still openings to sign up for a number of our current connect groups. We’re also already planning for the launch of our Summer connect groups, where we’ll have some of the same groups running, as well as introducing groups with new leaders and areas of interest. If you’d like to sign up or have any questions, email info@LibertyChurchNYC.com.
A few weeks ago on Liberty Church’s one-year anniversary, it was announced that a third community will be launched in Brooklyn in 2013. Yesterday I sat down with lead pastor Paul Andrew to get some more details on the exciting news.
When was the idea for a Brooklyn community born?
Well, Andi and I live in Brooklyn. When we first moved to New York we fell in love with Brooklyn, and for a while we thought first community might be there. When we launched Tribeca I figured our second community would be in Brooklyn. So, the truth is that Brooklyn has always been in our heart for Liberty Church. I walk around our neighborhood every week and see the need for more local churches to be pioneered. We’re meeting people all the time that we’d love to invite to a neighborhood church, and we’re excited for the Brooklyn community to be just that.
What is the vision for the Brooklyn community?
If Brooklyn were a city on its own, it would be the fourth largest city in America ahead of Houston, TX. It was also once called “The City of Churches,” but sadly today in my neighborhood many of those beautiful churches have been converted to apartments or office buildings. From the outset, our dream has always been to reach this diverse city by planting church communities in different neighborhoods and that each could reflect the people who call it home.
I do think that the Brooklyn community will wind up looking and feeling different than our communities in Tribeca and Union Square. Right now we’re one church in two communities. Even though they have the same DNA, the Tribeca and Union Square communities already reach different types of people, have a different style and personality - like two siblings that are part of the same family. I have no doubt that when the time comes to launch Brooklyn it will be a unique expression of the vision of our church in the context of the new community.
Who would have thought that in such a short time - by the grace of God and the generosity of our volunteers - we’d be in a place where we can begin preparation for our third community?
So, what now?
On our first anniversary celebration in January we announced our hope to launch the Brooklyn community in 2013 (click here to watch the video). We asked the church to pray with us for God’s wisdom and direction in terms of the timing, leadership, and exact location of the future Brooklyn community. Beyond that, right now we don’t have a lot of specifics. I do know we’ll have to continue to grow our volunteer base and to believe God for both the financial resource and the pastoral leadership we’ll need to see this new community launch in strength.
What can Brooklynites do now to connect with Liberty Church while preparations are being made?
First of all, they can of course get connected with either of our current communities. Secondly, we have Connect Groups that meet in Brooklyn so it’s already possible to get connected and be part of the family even before we have Sunday services in Brooklyn. Thirdly, sometime later this year, it’s likely that we’ll begin to gather a launch team who will pray and plan together. If you’d like to be part of that team when it forms, you can email info@LibertyChurchNYC.com and we’ll make sure to contact you when we’re getting ready to build our volunteer team.
