What is Apologetics?
Apologetics/Bible Studies: The Right Place For Real Answers
HillFaith's Christian Apologetics and Bible Studies are where congressional aides can get answers to the most important questions, especially to those we most fear being asked by skeptical colleagues.
What is "apologetics," you may ask. The New Testament at I Peter 3:15 tells followers of Jesus Christ to "always be ready with a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you, but do it with gentleness and respect."
HillFaith is here to help aides whose lives have been transformed through knowing Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to give that ready defense of your faith as logically reasonable, historically verified and scientifically confirmed.
Expand your understanding of faith, enhance your knowledge of the Bible, and gain the confidence to share your Christian faith with co-workers and to answer their questions about why and how you know Jesus Christ is the living Lord and Savior.
And if you are not a follower of Jesus Christ but you have questions about why those who are do, then HillFaith is where you will find answers.
You are likely to be surprised by the depth, breadth and quality of the evidence for the literal resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after His crucifixion on the cross.
With a focus on making apologetics accessible and understandable and rigorously rewarding study of the Bible, HillFaith offers a unique combination of scriptural teachings, fellowship, scientific and related evidence and reasoned arguments.
Here are HillFaith's current gatherings and planned future offerings:
