Our Ministry
We lighten each other’s burdens.
As a healthsharing ministry, Liberty HealthShare facilitates the sharing of healthcare costs among its like-minded members, who hold common Christian beliefs. Our ministry is comprised of practicing Christians who are aligned with ideals and principles found in the Christian Bible. These principles are based upon the responsibility to assist in meeting each other’s needs. We ask that our members subscribe to the principles of individual responsibility for their own health and of helping others in need.
More than a health insurance alternative.
Liberty HealthShare continues to advance its non-profit ministry to expand access to quality, cost-effective healthcare across the communities we serve. We create pathways to better health by offering a broad spectrum of value-based sharing programs for individuals and families, including those on a tight budget. Currently we serve 90,000 members across the U.S. who have found healthsharing a compelling and affordable health insurance alternative.

10 BRAND BOOK
Managing our brand is a responsibility of each team member. These guidelines are part of our ministry journey. Anyone who communicates on the ministry’s behalf should find these guidelines to be helpful and perhaps even a little inspiring.
Liberty HealthShare is more than a logo, a collection of photos, Sharing Guidelines, or even a colorful website. Those are simply documents and communication tools. Who we are comes from a much deeper place. It comes from within each of us who are guided by the Christian beliefs that compose our Vision, Mission and Values. We remain steadfast in our Christian faith and are responsible to each other and our members. And we’re going to continue to tell people who we are and how we can meet their needs in a way that best represents God, trust, and confidence.
In His love and service,
Dorsey Morrow Chief Executive Officer
