Liberty Christian Fellowship was planted in Founding Pastor Kim May’s living room in June of 1985.

​

Since its founding, LCF has been a non-denominational, theologically conservative, gospel-centered, bible-preaching, church that exists to build devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Theologically we are an Elder led church with a Board of Directors that oversees the fiduciary and operational aspects of the Church. By God’s grace and through His work in and through the ministries of LCF, the church has steadily grown over the years in numbers and attendance, but more importantly in the depth of its love for Jesus. In this current season of life and ministry, LCF is a church of close to1200 multigenerational regular attendees, though young and growing families are our largest demographic. We are a no-frills church that strives to share the gospel each and every week through exegetical teaching.
