About Us

Liberation Church exists to help people find freedom in Jesus through worship, discipleship, and serving our city.

Our mission

WHAT DRIVES US

We’re here to love God, love people, and make disciples—helping every person experience freedom through Jesus Christ.

Worship

We gather weekly for energetic, Christ‑centered worship and biblical teaching.

Discipleship

We grow in smaller groups where Scripture and real life meet.

Service

We serve one another and our community in practical, consistent ways.

BEliefs

What We Believe

We’re part of the Church of the Nazarene in the Wesleyan tradition. Here are the essentials we hold in common:

One God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Old and New Testaments are divinely inspired and trustworthy for faith and life.

All people need God’s grace; through Jesus’ atonement, we receive salvation by repentance and faith.

The Holy Spirit empowers believers for a transformed, holy life marked by love.

We gather as Christ’s body and practice Baptism and Communion as means of grace.

Christ will return; there will be a resurrection and final judgment.

Our STORY

FROM VISION TO TODAY

Liberation Church launched in 2023 with a simple prayer: that people across Dayton would find real freedom in Jesus. Since then, we’ve grown through weekly worship, connect groups, and serving opportunities—including ministry in the city and at the Juvenile Detention Center. We’re grateful for what God has done and excited for what’s ahead.
