The Phil Waldrep Evangelistic Association was formed in 1980. Phil Waldrep, a Southern Baptist evangelist, began to speak at revivals and other events under the new association. In 1984, Phil Waldrep and the P.W.E.A. held their first conference, “The Phil Waldrep Youth Bible Conference” in Talladega, Alabama. This conference had an attendance of 284 the first year. This number grew to an annual average of over 1,000 attendees over the next seven years, from 1984-1991. In 1991, Mountain Top Conferences, the conference division of P.W.E.A. was formed. It began hosting two different student camps; “Oasis” in June and July, and “Teen Celebrations”, now known as “Student Celebrations”, which take place just after Christmas. Also in 1991, the first women’s and men’s conferences were added. Senior Adult and Marriage conferences were added in 1994. Today, Phil Waldrep Ministries hosts conferences for men, women, senior adults, students and pastors, the North Alabama Bible Conference, the brand-new "SkiScape" student conference in January and other events such as Christian cruises and mission trips to other countries. |
