Join us for the BCNY Apologetics Conference, presented in partnership with the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. This two-day gathering will equip believers to confidently engage today’s cultural and spiritual questions with the truth of God’s Word. Together, we’ll explore how apologetics strengthens our personal faith, deepens our witness, and provides practical tools for sharing the hope of the gospel in a skeptical world.

Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, student, or church member seeking to be better prepared to give a reason for the hope within you (1 Peter 3:15), this conference will challenge, encourage, and inspire.
