The 2026 Fall Apologetics Intensive is an invitation to discipleship. Crafted with youth ages 12-18 in mind, these sessions will help guide youth into deeper prayer and study regarding key doctrines.
This event is for anyone who wants to go deeper in their faith and have a place to explore hard questions. This event is not sponsored by NCFCA, but will be particularly helpful to NCFCA Impromptu Apologetics competitors.
Our speakers are Jay Seegert and Abigail Roybal.
