Liberty Baptist Church is part of the Southern Baptist Convention of Virginia, often referred to as the SBC of Virginia or SBCV. We are affiliated with more than 800 local churches from across the Commonwealth of Virginia. The mission of the SBCV is coming alongside local churches advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ together to reach our neighbors and the nations. You can find more about the SBCV here.
Lottie Moon
Charlotte Digges “Lottie" Moon (Dec 12, 1840 – Dec 24, 1912) was a Southern Baptist missionary to China with the Foreign Mission Board who spent nearly 40 years (1873–1912) living and working in China. Every year, the first week of December, is a week of prayer for our International missionaries. The SBC of Virginia churches also take up special offerings called the “Lottie Moon Christmas Offering”. This offering serves as a reminder to pray for our missionaries and a way to cherish the memory of Lottie Moon. If you would like to give to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering, you can do that here.

Annie Armstrong
Annie Armstrong (July 11, 1850 - December 20, 1938) was born in Baltimore at a time when there was little opportunity for women. Yet, her devotion to Christ led her to a life of service and leadership. She organized women to pray, to give and to meet the needs around them. She challenged pastors and churches to action and rallied vital support for missionaries. Ultimately, Annie was recognized as a national Southern Baptist trailblazer for her visionary leadership that still inspires millions today. To find out more information about Annie Armstrong, go here. If you would like to donate to Annie Armstrong missions offering, you can do that here.
The first week of March is dedicated to Annie Armstrong week of prayer.
Honduras
God placed a burden and a love for the people of Honduras in the heart of a businessman from Drakes Branch, Virginia many years ago. This developed into the building of many churches and two medical clinics.
Danny & Linda Moon, long-time Liberty Baptist Church members, have been going to Honduras for 30 years to equip the saints for the work of the ministry by helping build churches, presenting the Gospel to children, and ministering in many ways.
Together, we can make a difference with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for caring for our neighbors for God’s glory.
Operation Christmas Child
We pack Operation Christmas Child (OCC) shoeboxes at Liberty because we agree with the mission of Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, and wish to partner in this ministry...
"To demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ." This is a Church to Church ministry. OCC is a great opportunity for a church in the US to empower another church around the world with a tool for the Gospel - the shoebox gifts.
