Engage Conference
Every week, your people are asked…

Does God exist?

Know what you believe.
Know why you believe it.
Live with conviction.

A weekend of rigorous teaching and honest conversation — built to equip your people to answer these questions with wisdom, grace, and courage.

A question mark formed from the questions people ask about the Christian faith
A faith ready for the questions of our time

The questions facing Christians are not getting easier.

Does God exist? Can we trust the Bible? Why would a good God allow suffering? What does it mean to be human?

These questions shape our families, churches, universities, and workplaces — and too often they go unanswered.

Christians should neither fear them nor dismiss them.

Engage Conferences take the hardest questions seriously and show why the Christian faith is intellectually credible, existentially compelling, and worthy of our lives.

More than answers

Not argumentative Christians. Confident disciples.

Grounded in Truth

Rooted more deeply in what Christianity actually teaches.

Prepared to Give Reasons

Able to say why the faith is true — and answer hard objections.

Equipped to Discern

Weighing the ideas shaping our culture through a biblical worldview.

Ready to Engage

Bearing witness to Christ with conviction, wisdom, and grace.

Apologetics, rightly understood, removes obstacles to belief, steadies wavering hearts, and gives language to conviction.

Alongside the local church

Not a conference dropped into your calendar.

A ministry brought alongside your church.

Apologetics belongs within the life and discipleship of the local church. We work closely with pastors to shape each conference around the needs of their congregation — theme, speakers, topics, schedule, outreach, and Sunday ministry.

The goal is a weekend that strengthens what your church is already seeking to accomplish.

And it can become more than a single weekend. For churches seeking deeper partnership:

  • Additional teaching
  • Leadership training
  • Small-group resources
  • Ask Anything events
  • Student gatherings
  • Ongoing support

Our aim is not simply a successful event, but churches cultivating thoughtful, resilient Christians prepared for faithful witness.

Frequently asked questions

Questions pastors ask us.

We work directly with each host church to fit its size, goals, location, and budget — aiming to make the conference both excellent and financially workable.

Friday evening through Saturday, with an optional Saturday evening Ask Anything event for the wider community and Sunday preaching in your church. The schedule can be customized.

We do it together.Our team works with your leadership to identify the questions most relevant to your congregation, then builds the program around them.

No.Much of the weekend equips Christians, but skeptics and questioners are welcome throughout. The Ask Anything evening is designed especially for those unconvinced by Christianity.

Not at all.It's built for ordinary Christians who want to understand their faith, think biblically about the world, and follow Christ faithfully.

Yes.We can explore additional teaching, small-group resources, leader training, student events, and longer-term church partnership.

Bring Engage to your church

The questions are real.

Our faith should be ready for them.

Help your church become a place where questions are welcomed, doubts are taken seriously, and believers are equipped to bear faithful witness to Christ.

Start a conversation — no commitment required.

Engage International exists to offer the truth, beauty and the credibility of the gospel to every questioner and to equip every Christian to think biblically, live faithfully and defend the faith winsomely — so that Christ is known, loved and glorified in every sphere of culture.
