Restore Renew Rebuild
Our Story
is quite a journey in a short time.
After our launch night at The Lysaght Institute, we moved to Hatherleigh Community Centre in February 2015 and made this our first home.
HATHERLEIGH COMMUNITY CENTRE
Where it all started.
The centre is right in the heart of the community and we developed some great relationships there. This home was a place of firsts. We celebrated Easter, and Mother’s Day, and ran Messy Church to name a few!
In 2015 we launched Liberty Groups, a place where people can meet in homes across our city, be discipled and do life together. Since moving on from the Hatherleigh Community Centre, we have continued our relationship and presence there with our Liberty Lambs (Parent & Toddler) provision.
ALWAY COMMUNITY CENTRE
We quickly outgrew.
In May 2015 we moved into Alway Community Centre. We had outgrown the Hatherleigh and it was time expand into a larger home. Again, we created some great memories here and celebrated our 1st birthday as a Church. We launched Girls & Boys Brigade, our mid-week children’s provision, in the heart of the Alway community.
LLANWERN HIGH SCHOOL
The journey continues...
In July 2016 we moved to our current venue, Llanwern High School. A place to grow in number, depth and influence. It was an exciting time in the September as we saw our Liberty Groups double in number. We know we are in this community for such a time as this.
GAER PARK DRIVE
In 2020 we began to journey with what was then Newport Christian Fellowship. It was clear through conversation and revelation that God was stirring our hearts together and in 2021 they became part of Liberty Church. With that joining of hearts came the building which so many of them had invested their lives into.
So now the building hosts many of our midweek meetings, the church offices as well as a newly renovated soon to be open coffee shop area.
What was evident in this journey is a group of people who said yes to Jesus and His voice and we want to thank all those who have gone before us. We build upon what another generation has paid the price for.
