Apologetics Classes
Contact: Sharon & Gary Zacharias, (760) 738-0601
Our Apologetics classes and groups are held a couple times a year. They are for high school age and above (all interest levels), and are devoted to apologetics, a defense of the faith against aggressive secular attacks, dealing with issues such as the Scripture reliability, science and Christianity, the existence of God, and the resurrection of Jesus.
