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. You can participate in this ministry by joining us on Saturdays at 10a as we reach out to many families around Searcy. 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, Denny Biard. 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 96,000 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
God​ has blessed us with an abundance of gifted singers and musicians. At LBC you'll hear a variety of styles of musical selections by soloists, duets, trios, ensembles, children's choir, teen ensembles, family choir, and instrumentals. Our congregation sings hymns, choruses, and scripture songs that are written by some of the most well known writers from years past to the present such as, Fannie Crosby, Isaac Watts, John Newton, Phillip Bliss, Ira Stanphill, Dottie Rambo, Mosie Lister, Byron Foxx, Ron Hamilton, Keith and Kristyn Getty,
Joseph Habedank, Lee Black and the list goes on.
Outreach & Visitation Ministry
Sharing the Gospel message is the ultimate goal we have. LBC strives to obey the Great Commission by witnessing to the lost around us. We meet on Thursdays at 6p and Saturdays at 10a and reach out into our community through our visitation program. Each week we make contact with those who have visited our church and knock on new doors to invite them to worship with us and to share the love of Christ with them. We also make visits to the sick and shut-ins, allowing us to pray with them and offer encouragement.
