Conference Details
The 2025 "Way, Truth, and Life" Apologetics Conference will be held at Discovery Bible Church. We desperately need God's Truth to guide and embolden us in these difficult times. Taking place on Friday evening, Saturday morning/afternoon, and Sunday morning, this event will equip your faith with practical tools and inspire boldness to share Christ with those who have lost hope. Do you wish to grow in your competency and passion to give a reason for the hope that lies within you? This conference will help you do just that!
We are thrilled to bring in two keynote speakers from out of state.
