ABOUT

CURRENT ISSUES, TIMELESS TRUTHS

Our approach to Apologetics focuses on topics and current issues that Christians are most likely to encounter.

Our holistic view sees the role of Apologetics within the context of the Great Commission, often converging with Evangelism, Discipleship and Missions.

Since 2009, Desert Apologetics has gathered top Christian Apologists and Thought Leaders together to:

  • Strengthen and encourage the hearts and minds of Believers to stand firm in The Faith.
  • Inspire confidence to initiate Gospel conversations.
  • Deepen the love and understanding of Holy Scripture.
  • Develop strong connections within the global Apologetics community.
  • Host educational and fellowship opportunities around apologetic themes.
  • Provide service opportunities, continuing education, and fun for team members.
  • Train people to utilize technology to engage more people for the cause of Christ.
