VISION
In its simplest form, our vision is to change the world, one life at a time.
Liberty is a unique place where every person is special and precious. We believe God’s love changes lives. We work to be sensitive to people’s needs, but not at the expense of being insensitive to the Holy Spirit. We look to build people and let God build the church. We seek substance through the richness of God’s Word. Our messages are relevant, often humorous, and always powerful. Our worship is a genuine, passionate, pursuit of the miraculous presence of God.
BELIEFS
Liberty is an inter-denominational Christian church. We work to unite with other evangelical churches to impact our world. We like to focus on what we agree on, rather than be divided over what we disagree on.
Liberty Church believes in…
• The Bible as the inspired Word of God
• The fall of man through his willful act of disobedience
• Salvation only through the free grace of God
• Repentance from sin and the acceptance of Christ for justification
• The new birth experience that takes place in ones heart at the time of conversion
• Water baptism by immersion as a symbol of the inward work of salvation
• The commemoration of the Lord’s Supper
• The baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues
• The absolute deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
• Divine healing through the power of God
• The second coming of Christ and the final judgment of God
• Heaven as the eternal home of believers, and eternal death for all who reject Christ

HISTORY
Liberty Church was founded on September 11, 1994 by Pastor Terry & Lynne Frazier. We began by renting space at Baker Middle School in Troy. After three years, we moved into a church building in Royal Oak that was owned by the Foursquare Church. As we continued to grow we looked for a larger facility that would provide more space for our vision. We moved to the city of Warren in 2001. Once our roots were established we began to take ownership of our community. In 2004, we began to host an annual Summerfest outreach in Warren which reaches thousands of people in need. In 2007 Pastor Terry began to be featured annually at National Day of Prayer festivities at City Hall, and has twice been invited to pray at the state capitol. In 2010 we began a weekly food pantry through a partnership with Forgotten Harvest that feeds hundreds of families in need. In 2016 our growth prompted us to begin the process of building a new facility. Because of God’s faithfulness, on January 3rd, 2021 we opened the doors to our current home in Sterling Heights.
THE FOURSQUARE CHURCH
Liberty is a member of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel was founded by Aimee Semple McPherson in Los Angeles California in 1923. There are presently over 5 million Foursquare members being served by nearly 70,000 ministers in over 60,000 congregations and ministries around the world represented in 138 countries. The term “Foursquare” stands for the four-fold ministry of Jesus Christ as our Savior, Healer, Baptizer in the Holy Ghost, and Soon Coming King. Visit foursquare.org for more information.
LEAD PASTOR
Pastor Terry Frazier has been involved in ministry since he committed his life to God in October of 1981. He received his bachelor’s degree from Trinity Theological Seminary and is a graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The first nine years of his ministry were spent working with young people and he still has a great passion for youth.
In September of 1994 Pastor Terry and his family founded Liberty Church in the neighborhood he grew up in. His great love for people is absorbed by our church members and has become the hallmark of our church. He was born and raised in the Detroit area and loves the city. His gift is teaching the Word of God, and he does this with great passion and clarity. He has a vision to see people trained to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.
Pastor Terry has been happily married to his wonderful wife, Lynne, since 1986. Together they have two sons, Sterling and Spencer. They, along with their wives, Sarah and Lauren, actively serve in the church. Pastor Terry loves to fish and enjoys sports. In his limited spare time, he officiates sporting events for high schools, colleges, and semi-professional leagues around the state of Michigan. Pastor Terry’s calling is to keep the passionate pursuit of the presence and power of God alive in the church.
