Our team brings the love!

Our Liberty community supports the North Minneapolis community. Many of our pastoral leaders are also our program staff. Many of our staff came through our programs. Our church members share their talents and time within our programs, serving as guides and resources. We are pastors, doctors, social workers, laborers, attorneys, youth workers, and more. We have PHDs and GEDs. We walk all economic journeys. At Liberty, it’s all connected! This interwoven fabric is what makes us whole.
