• Registration for the 2023 Apologetics Conference on Saturday, November 11 in Indianapolis is now open to all interested attendees.  Registration is required and will close on November 1. 

The purpose of the conference is to raise awareness of what apologetics is, why it matters, and provide entryways into major apologetic questions.  This year's theme is: Does God Matter? While "Does God exist?" may be one of mankind’s most fundamental questions, our increasingly secular society seems to be asking a different question: "Does it even matter?"  Join us at the 2023 Apologetics Conference as we discuss how to respond to atheism and apathy.
