Liberty Live is the webcast of our Soho service through our website. But more than that, it’s a community of people who can experience what God is doing at Liberty even though they’re unable to come to our services.

Liberty Live also serves as a front door for those who are thinking about visiting Liberty Church. It helps people stay connected while traveling away from New York City for work or holiday. It also allows us to include family members and prayer partners who live elsewhere in the world but who want to be involved and support what Liberty Church is doing in our city.

Peter grew up in Queens and still lives there today. He works in financial management, and is currently starting his own business consulting service. He and his wife Vanessa have three children who are all a part of Liberty.

Peter was excited about using his talents to build up Liberty Live, “I really enjoy listening to preachings online and I know that people are always connecting digitally. It’s just beginning, but I feel really confident that God will impact thousands of people through Liberty and its online ministry.” His aptitude for building, organizing, and improving have helped him serve in every position where God has placed him.

So Peter has a positive outlook on how God will use Liberty Live to reach those who are not yet here. “You know, it’s a little bit of a sensitive issue because people in general are still assimilating to interacting virtually or digitally but I believe that online community will be a natural progression for the church…It’s hard to believe now but there was a time in the church when people were not comfortable with the guitar being used in worship. I believe that Jesus went to the people wherever they were, wherever they needed him and I think the internet definitely needs Jesus.”

Over the past few years since we began live streaming the service, we’ve connected with many people who later became part of the Liberty Church family. For some in the middle of transition, Liberty Live allowed them to find home before they moved to New York City. Peter says, “People who are viewing online are in transitional periods, both geographically and spiritually, and want to see what the experience is like in Liberty before they commit.”

With Liberty Live introducing live chat features, we have the ability to allow people to come out of the shadows and get to know us. Peter explains, “The principal feature being introduced is the chat feature which we started using two weeks ago. It’s goal is to find out why people are connecting and learn more about them.”

At Liberty Church, every one matters, and every person has a different story of how they came to their faith and how they found a faith community. If you know someone whom you would love to introduce to Liberty Church, why not invite them to Liberty Live?
