2026 Apologetics Conference

Registration now available!


Lord willing, the seventh annual Apologetics Conference will be held in Bluffton North, IN on Saturday November 14th, 2026. The event will run from 9:30am to 3:30pm. Registration opens at 8:45.

The “Truth in Love Apologetics Conference” helps the Apostolic Christian Church love as Jesus loves by:

  • Motivating worship by developing a Christ-centered life of the mind
  • Increasing confidence in the Bible’s reliability and truth claims
  • Shepherding those dealing with doubt
  • Equipping to evangelize by removing intellectual barriers to faith and answering difficult questions


"Shining as Lights in a Secular Age"


We will explore the rise of secular ideas in our schools, workplaces, and institutions. Our conference teaching will explain the conditions that led to secularism and how we can faithfully live out the biblical alternative. This secularism has major consequences, and the conference will help us contemplate how a Christian should navigate, engage, and respond. Attendees can participate in group discussions and breakouts that consider how our Christian foundation leads us to respond with truth, love, and respect. We conclude with biblical direction on the key virtues needed to live as bright Christian lights in a world attempting to establish morality without God.
