The Church at Liberty Park (formerly Fifty-Sixth Street Baptist Church, Woodlawn Baptist Church, and Liberty Park Baptist Church) is a Southern Baptist church founded in 1886 in Woodlawn that relocated to 12001 Liberty Parkway in the Liberty Park of Vestavia Hills in 1994. Its former church building was sold to East Birmingham Church of God in Christ.
Between its founding and 1910 the church was known variously as Woodlawn Baptist Church and East Birmingham Baptist Church. From 1910 to 1929, it was officially named Fifty-Sixth Street Baptist Church. From 1929 to 1994, it was named Woodlawn Baptist Church. After its relocation, it was known as Liberty Park Baptist Church, until June 2018 when it became the Church at Liberty Park.
