LIBERTY — The timing seemed right for Brian Beasley and others to organize a new church to serve the growing Liberty area.
The launch of Growing Faith Church is set for Sunday.
“A series of things called me to lead a church,” Beasley said, pointing to the Greensboro-Randolph megasite. “With the growth, it seemed like the Lord was pulling us to assembly there.”
The first worship service is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at Liberty Elementary School at 206 North Fayetteville St.
Growing Faith Church stems from Pleasant Garden Baptist Church in Guilford County, slightly more than a dozen miles away.
“It’s our desire to be known for what we bring to the community rather than what happens on a Sunday morning,” Beasley said.
Plans for the church have been in the works since April, he said.
Beasley, 52, is a legal advisor for the High Point Police Department. He plans to retire from that position in 2026.
Yet there was an urgency to get rolling with Growing Faith Church. Beasley called it God’s timetable.
“We’re following His timing,” he said. “We’ll let the church grow. We hope many people will check us out.”
Beasley earned a master’s degree in pastoral ministry through New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in 2022. There are no full-time church staff members, but the nine leaders are listed in various capacities.
Beasley said the core of the church group includes about 30 people who are considered charter members.
An ideal situation would be for the church to have its own facility, but that’s not in a current planning phase.
“We’re so blessed that the school has allowed us to meet there Sunday mornings,” Beasley said. “We really have to get established (before having a stand-alone facility).”
There have been a few “preview services” in advance of the official launch. Normal Sunday services are scheduled from 9:30 a.m.-10:45 p.m.
