Harold Knowles (800) 543-5309 (434) 592-6019

Harold Knowles joined the Liberty University Planned Giving Department in 1978. His involvement with Dr. Jerry Falwell initially began when, on a chilly Sunday evening in January 1952, at Park Avenue Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., they both came forward during an invitation hymn to place their faith in Jesus Christ. Harold and his wife Anna are charter members of Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, founded by Jerry Falwell in 1956. They are also actively involved in the Hope-A-Glow prison ministry. Both Harold and Anna travel together regularly to meet with Liberty donors. Harold understands how blessed we are for donors who want to invest in eternal things by remembering Liberty University in their wills, trusts, or through a charitable gift annuity.
