This coming Sunday, Pastor Mike Murphy is starting a Five-Timers Club as a guest speaker at Liberty Church. If you’ve heard him speak at any of our services in the past, you’ll understand why we invite him back again and again, and why you’ll want to invite someone who wouldn’t want to miss the chance to hear him.
Pastor Mike Murphy has a long history with Liberty Church, stretching back even before Liberty Church was Liberty Church. He is a long-time mentor to Lead Pastors Paul and Andi Andrew and supported them in following their dream to New York. His influence is also felt by the encouragement and coaching he has poured into our pastors and leaders. This is his fifth time speaking to our communities, and each visit is memorable and pivotal.
In addition to decades of pastoring and missions work, he is the founder of Leaderscape, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting leaders of movements, companies, and churches in both the developing and developed worlds. He describes the mission of Leaderscape as “helping leaders negotiate the various terrains and seasons of their lives.”
Pastor Mike will be speaking at all three communities—Brooklyn, Downtown, and Union Square.

Worship Nights, which happen only four times a year, have become important for our three communities to seek the face of God together. At each gathering, we experience lives changed through newfound freedom, deliverance, and healings. As a church, we gain a renewed revelation of God’s love to expand our hearts and vision and to grow our faith. And as individuals, we are drawn in by a hunger for God and drawn together in unity with his church, regardless of where we are coming from.
We believe that God desires our wholeness, and that as we press into him to know his heart, we will experience the fullness of what he created us to be and how he wants us to know and worship him.

We invite you to our summer baptisms on Saturday, August 1, in Long Beach, NY. If you’ve never been baptized or if you have but you didn’t understand it at the time, this will be a great time to join the dozens in our community who have made this bold declaration as followers of Jesus!
There are two departure times from NYC/Penn Station: At 10:15am for a full day of hanging at the beach and the other at 3:00pm to arrive in time for baptisms. Baptisms will begin at 5:00pm.
We’d love for you to read Jessenia’s story of the spiritual growth she experienced when she made the decision to get baptized and how it impacted her friends and family members who came to support her.
“It was the start of 2014 and I felt the call to go deeper. I had been in church since I was maybe 9, but I had never been baptized. I felt like it was a new season. Before, I never had thought of baptism as important, or that it was for me. About ten years later, I was out of church for about nine months, and I didn’t know what I wanted and who was I supposed to be. It wasn’t until I found Liberty and I knew I had found home and found identity that I realized that I wanted to follow God and not be halfway.
“I quit my job. I knew it was time for a change, something spanking new. I was fasting during that time. At the end of the fast, I was led to an amazing job and made the decision to get baptized.
“I was just happy as could be that night. I left and I was just skipping with joy. People had already changed clothes, and I was still soaking wet, smiling all over the place. I felt like I was dreaming. I was just so happy. If I could do that night over twenty times I totally would.
“The baptism was a life-changer. It really made me think of my life differently and what I wanted to be and who I wanted to be in God. For a long time, I was surrounded by older generations and younger generations, and I was just past 25 and I didn’t know where I fit. One morning about 2–3 days later, I was praying and read Philippians 4:8. It reminded me that no matter what obstacle I faced or where I felt I was not good enough, I’m made new, refreshed, and made pure. I’m a new me—there’s always room for improvement, but I wasn’t alone in my world. God saw me where I was. I really felt like it was because of my baptism that my entire life changed, because I started to wholeheartedly serve him.
“At the end of my baptism, I had a team of people pray for me, and Tanya prayed a specific prayer over my life, that the fruit of all the seeds that I’ve sown would be plentiful and I would see so much that God has for me and see love just pour out of me. I don’t think I’m fully there yet, but I feel that there has been fruit shown in my life since then.
“Before my baptism I never felt like the revelation of the Holy Spirit living inside of me was there. It felt like baptism was preparing me for that. As soon as was baptized, I immediately—I don’t know how to say this—even as I was in prayer, I could feel the Holy Spirit. I’d never really encountered that until my baptism. After that, I would spend like an hour and a half in my room just worshipping and I never wanted to leave because I just had this sense that the Holy Spirit was there and living in me.
“My friends came who don’t ever go to church, but these are friends who are family to me. And my best friend was in tears because of what she witnessed. My grandmother came, and she had kept telling me that she did not want to go to church, but she was there for me. My sister was there and hadn’t been to a church for maybe a year and a half. She went just to support me but at the same time she came to check it out. My mom’s best friend was there, and she was the first person I saw when I came up out of the water. I had been missing my mom for a long time, and it was just a reminder in that moment that God sees me.”
