Pastor Dean began leading a ten-week study on apologetics (the defense or proof of Christianity using rational logic) last week with an introduction. Why you may ask??
• Apologetics is crucial for defending the Christian faith, engaging with skeptics, and providing a rational basis for belief, fostering deeper understanding and dialogue within and outside the faith community. Please consider joining our 9:30 Sunday School class Sunday for what should be a lively and educational discussion of what we believe and why.
