Welcome to
Liberty
Baptist Church
We’re Here For You.
Old-fashioned, Bible preaching in the heart of Sarasota
Come As You Are — You’re Family Here.
When you come to Liberty, you’ll feel like you’ve been to an old-fashioned, gospel-preaching church. We sing the great hymns of the faith, we preach from the King James Bible, and we welcome you the moment you walk through the doors.
Our church family is led by Pastor Anthony & Alaina Aiken, who joined Liberty Baptist Church in 2026. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or looking for a church home, there’s a warm seat waiting for you this Sunday.
