New Jersey-based megachurch Liquid Church has helped to pay off $13.7 million in medical debt for approximately 3,800 people and families, despite experiencing financial decline.
Liquid Church helped paid the debt in collaboration with the New York-based nonprofit RIP Medical Debt.
Lead pastor and founder of Liquid Church, Tim Lucas, said in a statement that while investigating the crisis of medical debt, we learned how it’s destroying the financial stability of families in our communities.
The medical debt relief comes when many churches, including Liquid, are experiencing financial challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown orders.
Liquid shifted to exclusively online services, family programming, and small groups in March of last year, eventually adding smaller in-person services last fall.
