The Hope You Have

An Apologetics Conference 

September 26 - September 27, 2025

Join us for an exciting weekend called The Hope You Have (Why the Christian Faith Makes Sense and Helps Us Make Sense of Everything Else).

This two-day event is designed to encourage your journey of faith and strengthen your Christian witness. In today's post-Christian culture, we must present our faith as both historically grounded and intellectually credible—a true description of reality itself. These seminars are designed to equip you to defend your faith, overcome objections, and grow in confidence as a disciple and witness for Jesus Christ. Sessions are led by Dr. Steve Blakemore from Wesley Biblical Seminary, and co-founder of John & Charles Wesley Center for Christian Thought and Apologetics.
