Tony Evans helps kick off Liberty’s first Convocation of the school year, 50th Anniversary celebration

Spread out across the bleachers and field of Williams Stadium, Liberty University students spent the first Convocation of the academic year celebrating the university’s 50 years of Training Champions for Christ and listening to renowned pastor Dr. Tony Evans outline what it means to be a representative of God’s Kingdom in the world today.

Members of the Liberty Worship Collective and LU Praise led a variety of worship songs before a video, narrated by Liberty founder Dr. Jerry Falwell, illustrated the God-inspired vision and tremendous growth of the university over the last 50 years. Liberty Campus Pastor Jonathan Falwell then reenforced the idea that the day was a culmination of something his father spoke of when Liberty began in 1971.
