“Throughout all the land” was not a suggestion.
The verse we’re named for doesn’t say proclaim liberty in the building. It says throughout all the land, to all the inhabitants thereof. So we go out — down the street, into nursing homes, and well past Delaware County.
Last Saturday of every month
Family Soul Winning
One Saturday a month, families from this church walk the neighborhoods of Aston together and knock on doors.
It is the most old-fashioned thing we do and we have no plans to stop. Most people are polite. Some are glad you came. A few are not, and that is part of it. But every month somebody in this town hears the gospel from a neighbor instead of from an algorithm.
It is called Family Soul Winning for a reason — children come along. A kid who has watched his father hand someone the gospel on a Saturday morning has learned something no Sunday School lesson can teach him.
If you’ve never done it, you will not be sent out alone and you will not be asked to say anything you don’t know how to say. You go with someone who has done it for years, and mostly you listen.
3rd Sunday · 2:30 PM
Nursing Home Ministry
Once a month we carry the service to people who can no longer come to it.
Singing, Scripture, prayer, and — just as importantly — company. For some of the residents in that room, the half hour we spend there is the most attention anyone has paid them all month.
Pastor Wilps has been doing nursing home work for years — long before this church existed, alongside the prison ministry. It has never had an audience and it has never needed one.
Beyond Delaware County
Foreign Missions
An independent church with no denominational machine behind it supports missionaries the old way: directly, personally, and by name.
New Liberty supports missionaries carrying the same gospel preached from this pulpit into fields well past Aston, Pennsylvania. We pray for them by name in our services, we support them from this congregation’s giving, and when they are stateside we put them in front of the church so our people can meet the work they’re paying for.
The Great Commission was not addressed to an organization. It was given to churches like this one, and every local church is responsible for its own share of it.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…”Matthew 28:19 · King James Version
