About Liberty UMC
For Chatham Charge, Liberty UMC is our "Church in the Country" and has been faithfully serving rural northwest Licking County for many years. This multi-generational congregation takes great pride in our relationships throughout the community as well as our relationship with God! If you are looking for a "Faith of our Fathers" church come and visit us!
What makes Liberty Church special?
Liberty UMC has a traditional worship service that is focused on bringing each person into a closer relationship with our Father and His Son Jesus Christ through the working of the Holy Spirit at each and every worship. We read from the scriptures, sing from hymn books and pray to God with praise and supplication and trust the teaching that He has for us.
We are a rural church and the folks are reverent but casual in their dress. You can come in shirt and tie if that is how you want worship the Almighty but God loves us the way we are and casual is great too!
Coming to faith is an act of preceding Grace, the urging to the Spirit to recognize our need to reconcile with our Father through faith in Christ. The Holy Spirit bring us to the decision point and we need only accept Christ as our Lord and Savior.
Spiritual maturity can only happen through our own actions and desire. At Liberty Church we believe that we must be participative in our spiritual growth. The seed of faith has been planted in our heart and soul but each of us is responsible that it receives the water, nutrients and Light that faith needs to grow, bloom and bear great fruit.
We believe the path to Christian maturity is by reading the scriptures, talk to our Father always, listen to for what He is telling us and finally acting for God in service to His Church and His people.
In addition to participating in Sunday worship we also have other opportunities to spend time in fellowship with others in the congregation to learn more about God.
Liberty Church has Sunday School classes at 10 AM for children and adults. Liberty also hosts a Pastor's Bible Study where we can read the scriptures together and understand the Truth that God has written in them for our edification and spiritual growth.
We are called by God to love and serve others and the Church gives us the opportunity and ability to join together, to multiply our efforts to become the hands and feet of God.
In addition to the money that is given by the church to meet local, national and worldwide needs through are regular offerings, Liberty has a number missions in which you can become involved.
Liberty can help you use your time, talents and treasure to help local needs through CDF Freedom Schools of Licking County, Pathways of Central Ohio, Heartbeats and many other service organizations.
You’ll find everything from casual clothes to business suits at our worship experiences. City Church is not about what you look like or what you wear. Dress in what is comfortable for you!
