History
Hello from Michael + Emily Liebler! We are the lead pastors at Local Church. As teenagers, God put a dream in our hearts of starting a new church on Long Island. We knew that there simply were not enough churches here. And heck - we thought it would be so much fun! 15 years later, we found ourselves married and living in the midwest, working at a church that we loved. On a normal Sunday morning, we suddenly felt that dream come back alive. So in the summer of 2020, we began a journey that would lead us back to LI to start Local Church with the vision of being a church for people who don't like church. We envision a church where all people feel honored, where everyone is honest about their lives and their doubts, and we all have fun together. You don't have to be perfect, you don't even have to believe what we believe. But at Local Church you can come as you are to explore faith and experience community.
Specialties
We are a contemporary, fun, and friendly church. We gather together for an hour on Sundays at 10:30a for bagels + coffee, live worship music, relatable teaching, and community. If you have kids, you can drop them at Local Kids where our background-checked volunteers will share an engaging bible message while you attend church. We are casual, so dress comfortably! We can't wait to meet you!
