To the many who have already contributed to our relief efforts- thank you. And to those considering what they can do- the need is great and will continue to be… Long after media attention has died down.

I’ve had so many reach out to us from around the world and ask what they can do to help.

For obvious reasons we don’t yet know the extent of the damage, let alone the specific needs of people in our community. However it’s more than clear that many people and especially those already in financial hardship will be hard hit by the flooding, property damage, transport closures and more.

We hope to be ready to make a difference for those that God brings across our path in the days ahead.

So, if you’d like to help us help people in our city, there are 3 Ways To Give-
1. You can use your credit or debit card to give using this link and select “Hurricane Relief Fund” from the drop down menu. Every cent (and more) will go to those in need during this widespread hardship.
2. Use PayPal to send donations easily from anywhere in the world

3. You could send a check to PO Box 672, New York, NY 10012 made out to “Liberty Church”. If you do this, please email info@libertychurchnyc.com to let us know what you’ve sent so we can make plans to help people while waiting on the post.

We’ll ensure you hear the stories of lives impacted by your generosity in the days and weeks ahead.

Further details will be posted as they become available. If nothing else, please continue to stand with us in prayer.

If you’ve been thinking about making Liberty Church home then we would love to invite you to Liberty Church 101.

RSVP now by emailing events@libertychurchnyc.com

We see it as a significant milestone that every person who joins our community should benefit from. It’s a two hour class where you have the opportunity to spend time with Paul & Andi as we share a meal and answer questions like:

• How did the church start?
• What are our vision and values?
• What do we believe?
• How is the church managed?
• Who are the leaders?
• Why do we encourage volunteering?
• How about giving & tithing?
• What does “membership” mean here?
• Plus the chance to ask questions of your own…

We’re building a community, not just a crowd. And we believe there’s great power in the decision to get planted in a local church rather than just attend (Psalm 92).

Two Great Options-
Sun Oct 21st | 1:15–3:15pm (right after the 11am service)
OR
Mon Oct 22nd | 7:30-9:30pm
Church Offices, 359 Broadway #2 (between Franklin & Leonard)

Just email events@libertychurchnyc.com to RSVP or for further details.

Our inaugural Visionaries Retreat is being held on Nov 9 & 10 at the stunning Cedar Lakes Estate in Port Jervis, NY.

REGISTER HERE!

Who It’s For
Our Visionaries community is made up of entrepreneurs and leaders in the marketplace who want to make a difference, not just a living. More than 40 people now contribute to this marketplace ministry, through training, mentoring, encouragement and a collaborative approach. Even if you haven’t yet joined Visionaries you’d be welcome to join us for our Retreat.

Where We’re Gathering
Just over an hour outside the city is a luxurious lakeside escape in the woods. The picturesque Cedar Lakes Estate is sure to be a memorable setting, especially in the fall. Various accommodation types are available, depending on your preference and budget.

What We Have Planned
November is the perfect time to regroup and reflect on what God’s done in our lives over the year. The Retreat will be a chance to invest into our Visionaries in a deeper way, to get away from the city and seek God, to enjoy His creation and pray over 2013. It will also be a rare opportunity to receive from a world class guest speaker.


Special Guest: Ps. Steve Kelly
Steve and Sharon Kelly are the Senior Pastors of Wave Church in Virginia Beach. Since taking on the church in 1999, the church has experienced rapid growth using a multi-congregational model with which it continues to expand its influence in the community, region and across the nation and world. Steve & Sharon have been mentors to Paul & Andi for many years and we have no doubt his impact on our Visionaries will be marked.

Further Details
The cost of the event is partially subsidized through the generosity of Visionaries giving this year. Financial assistance is also available. For full details including pricing, accommodation options, transport, schedules and more, please email events@libertychurchnyc.com or register now by clicking here and following the prompts to sign in or create a new account.

Last Sunday I had the honor of announcing a great step forward in the vision of Liberty Church… the appointment of Pastors for our Lower Manhattan Community.

Steve & Rhema Trayner have been part of our core team since the very early days, with Rhema becoming our first staff member (job profile- whatever it takes) and Steve overseeing our amazing worship team. What has become clear to the leadership of our church is that the call of God is on the Trayners to lead, to care for people and to build His house.

So this Sunday during our 11am service we will be commissioning them and praying over them for God’s grace and favor as they step up into a new level of leadership and anointing. In many ways it’s a recognition of the phenomenal work they are already doing in Lower Manhattan, but this is a significant step for our future together nonetheless.

It has always been the vision of our church to establish communities across our city and beyond. While Andi & I will continue to give direction, vision and contribute much of the teaching as the Lead Pastors, we can’t pastor everyone ourselves. So the Pastors of each community are responsible for caring for people in that congregation, raising volunteer teams, overseeing and hosting Sunday services, and developing ministries that build lives. It’s time to enlarge our capacity as a church.

Lower Manhattan now has a beautiful venue with room to grow, the strongest team it’s ever had and a string of record-breaking Sundays. I’m confident that with the addition of Steve & Rhema’s pastoral leadership we are entering a wonderful new season for God’s work in our community.

I hope you’ll join us to pray over them,

Paul
