Liberty University: Training Champions for Christ!
Unpublished
Liberty University is so unique among institutions of higher learning that it is making an impact worldwide! Liberty’s faculty, staff and student body are committed to maintaining a world class university to train “Champions for Christ” in a distinctively Christian environment.
Since its founding in 1971, Liberty has become the largest private university in the state of Virginia and the largest Christian university in the world, recently surpassing 50,000 total students in resident and online programs, fulfilling one of the dreams of my father, our founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell.
God has blessed this University with highly credentialed faculty holding degrees from more than 450 institutions of higher learning worldwide. In addition to academic excellence, Liberty also offers campus facilities that are unrivalled among Christian colleges. Liberty’s 5,000 acre campus includes 3,000,000 square feet of classroom, dormitory and recreational space, including the new Liberty University Snowflex Centre, offering year-round winter sports on the first slope of its kind in North America.
Liberty boasts a nationally ranked debate team and a NCAA Division 1 athletic program, along with academic programs like the Liberty University Schools of Law, Government, Aeronautics, and Nursing, which are leaders in their respective fields.
Liberty’s greatest asset, though, is its student body. God has blessed Liberty with the world’s greatest group of students from all 50 states and many foreign countries. These “Champions for Christ” will go out from Liberty University and impact the world with the gospel, which has been our mission from the beginning and will always remain our primary goal.
Sincerely,
Jerry Falwell, Jr.
Chancellor of Liberty University
