ABOUT US
Thanks for stopping by the online home of LBC. Our prayer is that you will find us to be a Christ-centered, caring community of individuals who are excited about having the opportunity to extend to you the same love, hope and joy that we have received from the Lord. Our desire is to ensure that the music is uplifting, the fellowship sweet, and most importantly, inspiring relevant messages from God’s word. ​
We are a traditional, independent, autonomus, local, biblical church church that is baptist in doctrine. We launched our first service on October 5, 1997. You'll find our music to be stirring and inspirational, while remaining traditional, and our preaching to be helpful and relevant for the Christian today. Learn more about what we believe, here.
Our church attempts to carry out the Great Commission in our own community through weekly personal evangelism and outreach, as well as supporting mission projects world-wide. Currently our church supports about 35 missionaries and mission organizations.
Each age demographic is well represented at LBC and your entire family will have opportunities to serve and worship together and in groups of like ages. We offer a variety of ministries and events throughout the year that will draw you closer to your church family and to Jesus Christ.
Come experience the Family of God like you never have before!

​The heart of
Liberty Baptist Church
is serving.
Through the many different ministries of our church there is a place for you to serve and be involved! Find the perfect place for your family.​
LBC 50+
We have a vibrant group of adults in the 50+ range that is dedicated to building and leaving a legacy. LBC 50+ meets throughout the year for activities and relationship building opportunities that include cookouts, game nights, conferences, and sight seeing trips to name a few. You'll enjoy finding other believers to spend quality time with.
LBC YOUNG Adults (20s-40s)
Community with others in your age group is an essential part of our vision. From BBQ's to volleyball to ice cream socials there will be something you can find to involve yourself with. There are also several Bible Conferences and annual retreats offered each year.
​
LBC Students (6-12th grade)
Students meet on Wednesdays from 6-7:30pm for games, music, Bible study and small group discussions. Students are able to interact through activities such as, laser tag, mini golf, go karts, bowling, campfires, movie nights, and game nights. It's important for our students to be able to develop friendships with others like them and to deepen their walk with Christ because of it.
Bus Ministry
LBC believes in reaching our entire community for Christ! This ministry is designed to provide transportation to children, teens, and adults who would not otherwise be able to come to church. The bus ministry has been called the greatest evangelistic tool in the history of the local church. Millions upon millions of people have come to church, heard the Gospel preached, and had their lives forever changed since the introduction of the bus ministry. We offer transportation to church each Sunday morning and Wednesday evening on our church van. Many children don't have the opportunity to attend church and we believe Jesus would have us to minister to as many as possible. We thank God for the souls we have seen saved due to this ministry. If you would like transportation for you or your children, contact us.
Faith Bible Institute
Faith Bible Institue (FBI) is a Bible college course for every Christian! Students will study chronologically through the ENTIRE BIBLE systematically through every major doctrine. Yet, basic classes meet only one evening each week.
FBI combines solid Bible teaching with an interactive DVD video format utilizing student workbooks, charts, 3D maps and images to produce a unique and exciting learning experience. Join the 40,000 students who have been trained through Faith Bible Institute.
We meet on Mondays at 6:00p and the class lasts about 3 hours. For more information, contact our class director, Paul Place. Courses are on a college freshman & sophomore level. A High School diploma is not required to enroll. Current High School (9th-12th) Students may enroll and those with advanced degrees may also enroll.
We also offer summer elective courses that last from 1-4 weeks and deal with topics such as: prophecy, creation vs evolution, angels, and more.
Maintenance Ministry
We have several folks in the church who volunteer their time throughout the year to mow our property, clean the church, and maintain the grounds. If working outdoors or cleaning is your thing then get involved with this important ministry! We love and appreciate everyone who helps to make our facility look nice and keep it clean.
Media Ministry
Liberty has a big vision to reach the world for Christ. We do this through a robust missions program, but we also fulfill the Great Commission by taking advantage of live streaming and posting the messages on our website, Facebook, SermonAudio, and YouTube.
Our church rejoices each month as we share the locations that have listened to messages for that given month. It’s amazing how far reaching a small church in Arkansas can have around the world and we praise the Lord for the emails we receive regularly from people who have been helped through the preaching of Liberty Baptist Church. In the past decade we have reached more than 150,000 people in all 50 states and 100 different countries!
This is one of the fastest growing ministries at Liberty and a place we always need more volunteers.
Missions Ministry
As we work to reach and evangelize Searcy, we also have a plan for world-wide evangelism. We have commissioned 30+ missionary projects throughout the world to plant churches, save the soul, feed the poor, and care for the orphaned. We support these projects monthly through our Faith Promise Missions fund.
All gifts are taken into our missions account and 100% of the money is given to missions in the United States and around the world. The benefit of this type of missions program is that we have been privileged to meet all our missionaries with their families and have them visit and preach in our church. We receive prayer letters from each missionary on a regular basis, updating us on their works and needs. Often these letters are read during our Wednesday night service.
Music Ministry
Music prepares the heart for the preaching and sets the tone for each service. God has blessed our church with gifted singers and musicians who desire to honor Him through music.
The heart of our music ministry is congregational singing. We believe in corporate worship and that singing together encourages and strengthens the body of Christ. Our congregation sings great hymns of the faith from centuries past, modern hymns rich in doctrine, psalms, choruses, and Scripture songs. These songs are written by faithful servants of God such as Fannie Crosby, Isaac Watts, John Newton, Philip Bliss, Ira Stanphill, Dottie Rambo, Mosie Lister, Ron Hamilton, Keith and Kristyn Getty, Joseph Habedank, Lee Black, and others. Through music, biblical truth is taught, remembered, and passed on to the next generation.
At Liberty Baptist Church, you will also hear a variety of musical offerings including soloists, duets, trios, ensembles, children’s choir, teen ensembles, family choir, and instrumental music.
Outreach & Visitation Ministry
Sharing the gospel is our ultimate goal. Liberty Baptist Church seeks to obey the Great Commission by witnessing to the lost in our community. We encourage our church family to share invitations and gospel tracts throughout the week. Each Sunday night, we count how many were distributed as a way to encourage and motivate one another to keep inviting others and placing the gospel into as many hands as possible.​ At times, we also go out as a group to canvas neighborhoods with door hangers and invitations for special events. In addition, our visitation ministry includes visiting the sick and shut-ins, allowing us to pray with them and offer encouragement.
LBC Kids
Ages 0-3 • At every service we provide a safe and clean nursery for the little ones up to 3 years that is overseen by our pastor's wife, Mrs. Karen. She has worked with children for more than 30 years and loves each child as if it were her own! You'll feel confident your little people are in good hands and will learn about Jesus on their level and will allow you to be able to focus on the service without any distrations.
K-5th grade • For children ages four through fifth grade, we provide a fun, friendly, and Bible-centered class that engages kids while teaching them God’s Word and helping them grow in Christlike character at an early age.
On Wednesday evenings, children also enjoy a class that includes a Bible lesson, missionary stories, games, and hands-on craft projects that help reinforce what they are learning.
​​
Elementary-aged children will enjoy our programs tailored for their age groups. The children also enjoy activities and outings during the year such as, zoo trips, summer camps, Family Crusades, and more!​​
