ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Christian Liberty Church, which meets in the auditorium at Frederick Douglass High School in Baltimore, Maryland, has seen 262 people come to faith in Jesus. Launched in 2014, the church, which has an office in a nearby mall that was looted during April 2015 riots, became a North American Mission Board (NAMB)-funded church plant in 2015.
“We started with nothing,” said Wayne Lee, pastor of Christian Liberty. “So everything God has done He has done on His own and with the support and encouragement of NAMB.”
Throughout North America, there were 926 new NAMB churches started in 2015 that are taking root and are already making a difference in their communities, according to NAMB. Another 188 churches chose to begin cooperating with the Southern Baptist Convention bringing the total count of new churches for the year to 1,114.
Of the churches started in 2015, 52 percent report congregational makeups that are predominantly non-Anglo with Hispanic (143) and African-American (92) comprising the largest groups of ethnic plants. (NAMB)
