At Liberty we believe it’s important to not just attend church, but to be planted in a church community where you can flourish. That’s why we encourage anyone interested in being a part of Liberty Church to attend Grow – a series of classes where you can find out how Liberty began, meet our pastors, understand what we believe and find your place in our church.
Here is recent Grow graduates James and Juliette’s story about what they got out of the course, and how it has helped them find their place at Liberty.
We first heard about Liberty Church through our friends about 3 years ago. We were actually attending a different church at that time but were invited to a service at the Soho community. We were put on the email list to stay connected. Then in January, we received an email invitation to the launch of Liberty Brooklyn and have been attending ever since.
We were really looking for a close-knit community that loved on each other like family. We came from a small church that endured a lot of hardship, mainly because of “church politics,” so it was important for us to find a church that was centered around Jesus.
The leadership of Paul and Andi Andrew is what ultimately made us decide that Liberty was a church we wanted to call home. As a married couple it was important for us to have pastors and leaders in the church who were led by the Spirit and lived their lives with conviction. We saw that right away when we heard Paul and Andi preach.
Once we decided that we wanted to become planted at Liberty, we knew it was time to go through the Grow course. Our experience in Grow was great and so helpful. We learned about the history and background of Liberty, the vision,and the importance of church community. Because of our difficult church experience in the past, we really appreciated the opportunity to ask questions about the church structure and leadership.
Since graduating from Grow, we’ve started volunteering on Sundays at the Brooklyn community. We’re also joining the spring missions trip to Zimbabwe, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.
We are looking forward to help building the church and making Jesus’ name known all over Brooklyn and NYC!
