According to AG General Treasurer James Bridges, the conference had its beginnings with a "Convention and Bible Conference" held in Childress, Texas, January 17-22, 1938. It's been held, under slightly different names, ever since.
Cargill adds that on average, 500 attend the conference, but the number can vary due to the location (different every year) and weather conditions.
