True Christian mercy is not driven by compulsion, duty, or guilt. It is rooted in a compassion that humbles us. We serve out of gratitude for God's liberating work in Jesus Christ, which we have done nothing to deserve. We partner with existing ministries to express the incomprehensible mercy that has been shown to us by Christ.

liberti Care Team
Meeting Needs in Community. Our Care Team exists to provide practical help for people in the liberti Fairmount community. The team is made up of volunteers, deacons and an elder, who go through a six-month training program. They work in pairs to respond to requests for help including: housing, utilities, food, medical attention, insurance, transportation, counseling and childcare. Assistance for these last three items must be exhausted first within the Home Meeting before individuals approach the Care Team.
There is a Care Team Help Line through our main phone number (215-255-8414) at the liberti church office or via email. This help line is monitored by a Care Team volunteer and checked every 24 hours. Once someone leaves a confidential request for help, the Care Team member will walk them through a screening process to help ascertain how the Care Team can best provide help. The entire process is confidential, and will take a minimum of two weeks.
