Liberty Bible Church was formed in the fall of 1980 by a group of believers who wanted to see an independent, fundamental church planted in Eureka.  With a few committed families and the help of a pastor at a nearby Bible church, services were soon begun in a storefront in downtown Eureka.  Gary Hedrick pastored the fledgling group for the first eight years, giving the church a solid doctrinal foundation and a commitment to the Word of God.  Through his ministry and the hard work of the new church family, they established an AWANA program that set the tone for a youth ministry that continues to flourish today.

As the church grew, two other storefronts were occupied in Lakeview Shopping Center that accommodated the growth.  In 1988, God led the Hedricks to Texas and a new position with the Christian Jew Foundation.  Tom Zobrist was called to continue the ministry Gary had begun and the Lord had blessed and was installed on August 1.

In 1990, Liberty's first permanent facility was built on land that the church had miraculously acquired five years before.  A multipurpose facility now housed Liberty's growing AWANA, youth, missions, and family worship programs.  Along with this new building, more growth came, and the addition of Sunday School rooms followed in 1994.

God continues to bless at Liberty Bible Church.  Numerically and spiritually, we continue to grow and reach out to a lost world.  Programs for the young and old alike reach our community with the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.  The support of missionaries and the launch of this web site take our ministry around the world.  Most of all, our central focus is the preaching of the Word of God.  This spiritual food strengthens us and enables us to continue the work of the ministry.

God has truly blessed and we are thankful to Him for His manifold blessings.
