March 14th & 15th, 2025
SPEAKER ROSTER COMING SOON!
Since 2009, Desert Apologetics has brought apologetics events and resources to the Coachella Valley. Desert Apologetics partners with Biola University’s Apologetics Department and other organizations to bring nationally known apologists, scholars, authors, and thought leaders to our valley.
“Anchored” comes from Hebrews 6:19a:
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” We pray that this conference will be a time of refreshment, inspiration, encouragement and hope.
2025 SPEAKERS
This year's theme is "FAITHFUL & COURAGEOUS". We've got a stellar line-up of speakers addressing tough issues in Culture and in the Church, leaving you more equiped and inspired to have Gospel conversations with your family, neighbors, co-workers and even strangers.
