Ed An Enriching Setting

Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center is located on the shores of a beautiful mountain lake. Since 1913 Lake Junaluska has been known as a place of spiritual enrichment, leadership development, and transformation. Don't miss this chance to rejuvenate yourself at this beautiful retreat center while taking advantage of Alban's in-depth learning.

Learning Events

Our Seminars make available the in depth knowledge and broad practical experience of our senior consultants in an interactive format with your peers.

Our Workshops draw on the gifts of Alban authors who themselves are usually practitioners of ministry who offer you the chance to explore with them the ways that their work in particular areas, or on special themes, can contribute to the growth and transformation of your own leadership gifts.

Our Webinars, Podcasts, and blog posts on the Alban Roundtable, as well as our Facebook page and Twitter feed, bring Alban resources right to you online, and in a timely fashion, in either live discussions or on-demand recordings that you can access at your convenience.

Partnerships

We also make available our programs and resources in Partnerships with organizations such as the Fund for Theological Education, the Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center, Andover Newton Theological School, Center for Renewal, and the National Association of Church Business Administrators.

And we can provide Custom Events, Workshop Leaders, and Keynote Speakers for congregations, denominational gatherings, and other organizations who are seeking resources for their own programming needs.
