Pence will be among the featured guests on September 14 at Liberty’s Convocation

LYNCHBURG, Va. – Liberty University announced that on September 14, former Vice President Mike Pence would speak at the university’s Convocation.

This will be the third time Pence has visited Liberty. In October 2016, when he was governor of Indiana and a vice presidential candidate, he spoke at Convocation, and in 2019 he gave the commencement speech at Liberty’s 46th Commencement.

Liberty Interim President Jerry Prevo said, “I am excited to see this Fall Convocation schedule. Our student body, one of the largest on record, will be able to sample a wide array of Christian leaders who are modeling what it is to be a Champion for Christ in their field. My prayer is that our students will take Christ with them into their profession, wherever they are sent. Our Convo guests are just some of the many examples of what it is to serve Christ in all avenues of life.”

Another guest of the Convocation, Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears, will make a speech on October 5. Lt. Gov. Sears was the first woman elected to the post of Lieutenant Governor in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and she was also the first Black woman elected to a statewide office.

“Our mission is to Train Champions for Christ at LU. Therefore, we want every Convocation speaker to be someone who can help fulfill this mission. Our guests this fall will bring great insight, wisdom, Biblical truth and encouragement to our students in their spiritual journey. We are excited to see what God does through the men and women who will share from the Convocation stage,” said Campus Pastor Jonathan Falwell.

According to the university, Convocation is the biggest weekly gathering of Christian students in the world. The service is open to all students and is conducted every Wednesday and Friday at 10:30 a.m. EST at the Vines Center. The majority of events are live-streamed on Liberty’s official Facebook page and the Office of Spiritual Development’s Facebook page.
