History
The conference started in 1985 as the World Christian Conference for Chinese Graduates (WCCCG). Its conveners saw the need to bring fellow Christians together and challenge them to engage in evangelism throughout the world as well as the need for more workers in North America.
Each year, since 1985, conference attendees from churches on the West Coast and beyond have come together in a forum where biblical teaching is given, models and examples are presented, and practical issues are discussed.
Since 1985, WCC has gained momentum reaching over 400 in attendance each year.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
