NAE Christian Student Leadership Conference
January 28 - February 1, 2019
The Christian Student Leadership Conference is a place where college students who care deeply about today’s pressing issues come to learn and consider how to engage in public policy.

If you are a college student who wants to see justice, mercy and humility in today’s politics, then this conference is for you.
​
At the Christian Student Leadership Conference, you’ll be inspired and empowered as you:
​
  • Interact with today’s top public policy issues;
  • Hear from elected officials, public policy leaders and thinkers;
  • Express your values in a civil and biblical way; and
  • Speak on behalf of those who have no voice.
​​
Consider your calling as you experience power-packed briefings, dialogue, and reflection — all while taking in our nation’s bustling capital city.
