Christival

What can be more uplifting than praising the Lord and learning about Him through song and engaging talks given by some of the most dynamic Christian leaders in the world? PBA does exactly that over several days each fall semester for Christival, a long-standing PBA tradition of praise, worship and learning. Christival began in the 1980s, making it the longest-standing conference at PBA.
