Student Leadership & Apologetics Conference
Student Leadership & Apologetics Conferences are designed to equip students with an understanding of the role apologetics plays in their leadership influence. If we are going to prepare our students to engage their culture for Jesus, we must equip them with the Truth found only in God’s Word.
These Conferences are created in partnership with K-12 schools and designed to provide students in grades 7-12 (grades vary based on location) an opportunity to participate in whole-group keynotes, breakout sessions, and interactive small-group engagement opportunities. Students will leave with a greater understanding of the vital role they play in their schools, communities, families, and the world as they discover their unique gifts and how they can use them to make Jesus known.
Administrators and teachers attending the conference will earn Bible CEUs from ACSI.

Federal Way, WA
Join us on the beautiful campus of Pacific Christian Academy for ACSI Student Leadership and Learning's Apologetics Conference, where students come together to strengthen their faith and equip themselves to defend it in today's confusing culture.
A mixture of praise and worship, whole-group keynote sessions, small-group breakouts, and collaborative opportunities allow students to experience and explore challenging questions and discover answers grounded in Scripture. Together we will sharpen our minds, strengthen our convictions, and emerge better equipped to defend the truth of the Gospel.
Keynote sessions led by Brett and Erin Kunkle will equip students to understand how to utilize the truth of God's Word to impact and influence the culture.
