Mission:

At LCF, we desire to build devoted followers of Jesus Christ through:  Relevant Worship, Caring Relationships, Biblical Teaching, Practical Ministry.

History:

The vision for LCF began in September of 1985, when Kim May, our founder pastor, prayed, "God, I'll do anything you want me to do."  He took Kim up on his offer and impressed these words on his heart, "Start a church."  Over the next 8 months Kim and his wife, joined by 4 friends and their children, planned a move to Liberty, Missouri.  The first gatherings of this LCF church plant occurred in the May's home on June 1, 1986, as a Sunday night Bible Study.  Within a few months it switched to a Sunday morning worship service as attendance increased.  In 1989 LCF bought three acres (with a small church building on it) at the corner of Liberty Drive and Conistor.  We were a healthy, growing church of about 150 people.  Subsequently, we've added a variety of facilities to accommodate the continued growth and ministries of our church.  In January of 2016, Kim retired after leading LCF for 29 years and leadership was transitioned to Tim Fritson, our current Lead Pastor.

God has blessed us with many opportunities to share the message of Christ and extend His kingdom in the Kansas City area, throughout the nation, and around the globe in places like Eastern Asia, Western Asia, Japan, and Haiti.  Looking back on our history affords us a clear picture of God's grace, for apart from Him we can do nothing but with Him all things are possible.
