Church Partnership
Equip Your Church to Confidently Share & Defend the Gospel
Every church, large or small, can partner in equipping believers to confidently share the gospel. The cultural challenges facing today’s church continue to grow, but so do the opportunities for believers to faithfully proclaim Christ.
Apologetics for the Church exists to serve pastors by equipping ordinary Christians with practical, biblical training that strengthens their confidence in evangelism and gospel conversations.
Whether through free resources, conferences, church events, internships, or ongoing partnerships, we’re here to help your church stand firm.
“But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect…”
THE CHALLENGE FACING TODAY’S CHURCH:
Many Believers Want to Share Their Faith, but Don’t Feel Equipped
Lacking Understanding
Christians lack confidence in answering difficult questions.
Limited Preparation
Many believers feel unequipped to explain why they believe.
Low Confidence to Share
Churches desire greater effectiveness in evangelism, but often lack practical training resources.
Barna found that only 12% of pastors say they are very effective at encouraging Christians to share their faith, and the percentage of pastors who felt their church was effective at reaching the unchurched fell from 63% to 39% between 2015 and 2022. We desire to help reverse that trend.
