The Church at Liberty Park
The Church at Liberty Park was founded in 1886 in the Woodlawn area of Birmingham, Alabama. As Woodlawn Baptist Church, it flourished and grew there for many decades, at one point becoming one of the largest churches in the state with more than 1,700 in weekly attendance. By the early 1990s, however, the church had experienced significant numerical decline and began to explore other ministry options in the greater Birmingham area.
After much prayer and searching for God’s will, a determined congregation concluded that God was not finished with them yet. In 1994, this visionary group chose to relocate to Liberty Park, a new community being established in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. Moving to an area that was then mostly wooded forestland, the church trusted God to bring in a harvest as the neighborhood grew around them.
Today, we continue to live out our biblical mission: to glorify God and make disciples by inviting our community to enjoy fulfilling lives in Christ. As we minister in Christ’s name, we strive to worship God, enjoy community with one another, and share the good news of the Gospel with those in our community and around the world.
