Conferences are an important part of Christian Leadership Ministries' effort to resource and encourage you as a Christian professor. Our conference strategy includes the biennial National Faculty Leadership Conference (NFLC) as well as various regional conferences as needed.

The National Faculty Leadership Conference is held over the last weekend of June, every other year. The next NFLC will be Friday, June 27 through Sunday, June 29, 2008 at the Marriott Crystal Gateway Hotel in Crystal City, near Washington, D.C.

The June 2006 NFLC, entitled The Two Tasks, honored the life and work of Dr. Charles Malik in the centenary year of his birth. It was attended by 530 professors, faculty spouses, graduate students, and others working and ministering in academia. See www.TwoTasks.com for details. Audio from many of the seminars and speakers is available here. The previous NFLC was in June 2004; audio ordering information is at www.NFLC.US.

Jesus Christ said the kingdom of God is like leaven in its permeating and transforming power upon the world. The acronym LEAVEN expresses the six objectives of our conferences, given to help you as a professor have a leavening, transforming effect for Christ in your academic field, on your campus, and within society:

• Leadership - to assist professors in their growth as leaders spiritually
• Encouragement - to give faculty refreshment from the Word and fellowship
• Affirmation – to remind conferees of their high calling as professors
• Vision - to expand professors’ understanding of how God can use them
• Equipping - to impart ideas for practical ministry and faith-scholarship integration
• Networking - to connect professors with the fellowship and support of a worldwide movement and community of believing scholars
