Conference Services
¹ú²ú͵ÅÄ’s scenic location, modern facilities, and beautifully landscaped grounds make an ideal setting for meetings, conferences, retreats, and youth camps.
We host more than 7,000 visitors of all ages during the busy summer conference season of mid-May through July. These events promote awareness of our university for future events to be held on campus and attract future students interested in enrolling at our university. Conference Services provides events for nonprofit groups that are a match to our Christian mission.
The university's location also serves as an ideal springboard for a multitude of recreational and ministry opportunities. The nearby coastal communities of Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, and Mission Beach provide access to the waters of the Pacific. Sea World and the world-famous San Diego Zoo are within easy driving distance. And of course, the comfortable year-round climate in San Diego is unrivaled anywhere in the U.S.
