The Role: Director of Next Gen Ministry

Meet Liberti Main Line:

Liberti Church Main Line was born in 2012 with the hope of starting a church that would love the Main Line, seek to serve its communities, and would be a place in which people unfamiliar with Christianity could explore the reality of Jesus in a way that made sense.

 Liberti wholeheartedly embraces the good news of historic Christian faith: that, in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, God has acted to redeem and renew the cosmos he has created. Our church values being a place where sound doctrine is presented in an unwavering, yet approachable way to those who are new to faith or still seeking.

Liberti is part of the City Classis of the Reformed Church in America,  a historic denomination in the Reformed family of the Christian Church characterized by both deep roots in historic, Reformed Christian faith, and an ongoing commitment to the mission of Christ in the world.

Our members find the community within Liberti Main Line to be one of its greatest strengths. Together, our members have a heart for outreach within the greater Philadelphia community, demonstrated by their eager involvement in various ministries.
