Think Tank
CWiPPTHINK
Each year, New Life Presbyterian Church in Escondido graciously receives our think tank invitees for a three or four day conference. This think tank is by invitation only and is intended principally for leaders, pastors, youth workers, scholars, students and others specifically interested in and qualified to discuss the subject chosen. We do not yet have the resources to sponsor a national conference open to the public, but we are not closed-minded about who can attend. If you feel that this think tank is for you, please feel free to contact us to discuss possible attendance. We have been privileged to receive folks from as far away as South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, France, and Mauritius, to mention a few. Some have come every year and a sense of friendship and openness pervades the meetings.
Cost for attendance is minimal, food is provided, and host families from the church offer rooms on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees must pay their own travel expenses and commit to attending the entire conference. Our speakers sacrifice to be with us and we are humbly in their debt.
We make the lectures from these days available free of charge in our media center. Click on the links below to find our audio feeds:
