What Happens At The Asilomar Bible Conference?
In

overlooking Monterey Bay on the central California coast. They enjoyed...
-
stirring
Bible talks
-
searching
interviews with cutting edge thinkers and doers
-
inspiring
musical performances
-
a
dramatic presentation on the Last Supper
-
a
moving demonstration of sacred dance to biblically themed music
-
training
workshops on everything from facilitating Bible studies back home
to reading the Bible aloud to doing more effective research on biblical
passages on your own
-
informal
evening fireside chats with faculty and speakers in intimate living
room settings
-
a
lively and uplifting testimony meeting sharing fresh healings
-
delicious
food together in the historic dining room
-
ranger-guided
nature walks as well as leisurely strolls on boardwalks, ocean view
trails, and sandy beaches
-
after-hours bonfires with marshmallows, hot cocoa, fellowship along
with guitar sing-a-longs
We
hope you can join us in 2009!

Facilities
 Asilomar,
meaning "refuge by the Sea" is nestled along the shoreline of the Monterey
Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Pacific Grove, California. Its enchanted
combination of 105 acres of forest and dunes creates a dramatic backdrop
and tranquil environment for the Bible Study Seminars. Noted for its
cool ocean breezes in June, it is an ideal conference site.
Located
just 71 miles south of San Jose and 120 miles south of San Francisco,
Asilomar is conveniently served by the Monterey, San Jose, San Francisco,
and Oakland airports. The original buildings at Asilomar were designed
by the renowned architect Julia Morgan, best known for her creation
of the legendary Hearst Castle.
Over
the years, great care has been taken to harmonize Asilomar's meeting
and guest rooms with the natural environment. Physical independence
is necessary, however, jitney is available.
Asilomar
Conference Grounds is within minutes of Monterey, Carmel, and Pebble
Beach and surrounded by local attractions, including the Monterey Bay
Aquarium, Cannery Row, 17-Mile Drive, and world-renowned golf courses.
