Meet the Miano's
Jose and Erin Miano met when they were teenagers at a summer camp in Flagstaff, AZ.  However, their friendship didn't blossom into romance until they were classmates at West Coast Baptist College in Lancaster, CA.  Ten days after receiving his Bachelor's in Pastoral Theology, Jose married Erin and they began serving the Lord at the Liberty Baptist Church in Las Vegas, NV. 

Upon completion of his internship in Las Vegas, Pastor Miano was ordained on June 30, 2004.  The Miano's stayed in Las Vegas for the next 2 years while Pastor Miano served on the Pastoral Staff.  It was here that the Lord solidified in their hearts the need for fundamental, independent, Baptist churches on the West Coast. 

In July of 2006 the Miano's answered the call of God to move to Fresno to start a brand new church.  So, on September 10, 2006, Liberty Baptist Church of Fresno opened its doors to 41 people.  Join Pastor and Erin this Sunday and discover what makes Liberty Baptist Church, a place to belong!

What We Believe                                                                            The Bible                                                                               We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God and that it is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. For reasons of textual reliability, we believe that God has preserved His Word for the English speaking people in the King James Version of the Bible.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1:20-21

Sovereign God                                                                                        God is a Person, eternally existing, as a Trinity in unity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - three Persons and yet one God.
Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 26:19, I Corinthians 8:6

The Son                                                                                                  Jesus Christ, eternally existing, is the only begotten Son of God, who became a sinless man to redeem us. He was born of a virgin and is true God and true man.
Luke 1:30-55, John 1:1-15, Philippians 2:5-8

The Local Church                                                                                    The local church is a group of believers baptized by water, banded together for edification, exhortation, and evangelism as commanded by Christ in the Great Commission; preaching the Gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15, I Corinthians 12:12, Ephesians 1:22-23

Sin                                                                                                       Man was created in the image of God but fell through sin, bringing not only physical death, but also spiritual death or eternal separation from God. Now all of mankind exists as a fallen race with an inherited sinful nature.
Genesis 2:16, Genesis 3:16-19, Romans 3:10-23, Romans 6:23

Sacrifice of Christ                                                                                   The Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died as a substitutionary payment for the sins of the whole world. He physically arose from the dead and then ascended into Heaven. Simple faith in this sacrifice is the only way of salvation for mankind.
Luke 24, Acts 1:9-11, Romans 5:8-10, I Peter 3:18

End Times                                                                                              Jesus Christ Himself will soon come again in the air to catch up His Church to reward their service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a period called the Tribulation, after which Christ will return to the Earth to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this, the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God forever, while the believers spend eternity in the fullness of joy in Heaven with the Lord.
Matthew 24:29-42, I Thessalonians 4:16-18
