PCA Welcomes Endure Apologetics Conference
Charleston Southern University’s annual Endure Conference focuses on the topic of apologetics and is geared towards high school juniors and seniors. The goal is to “equip students to walk with Christ in a world opposed to Him and answer key questions from the Christian Worldview.”
Due to COVID, CSU was unable to host the conference on their campus this year, but knowing the importance of the content, Jonathan Denton, Assistant Professor of Christian Studies/Student Ministry at Charleston Southern University, and father to two boys who attend PCA, had an idea. “My first phone call was to Mr Zubia. He and Principal Keiper have been incredible hosts for us to bring the conference to PCA juniors and seniors!”
Last Thursday, PCA juniors and seniors gathered in the Worship Center to attend this year's conference entitled, “Ancient Text Modern World.” Members of the CSU worship team, Elevate, performed several songs as students praised the Lord prior to diving deeper into the Word.
After the worship music, students heard from Dr. Allen Jackson, a pastor at Dunwoody Baptist church in Dunwoody, GA and Dr. Jay Strack, President and Founder of Student Leadership University on topics such as the inerrancy of God's word, how an ancient text is applicable in other cultures across the world, and how science is stronger when we include God's word.
The following day, CSU Christian Study faculty members were welcomed into the junior and senior Bible classes where they held small group sessions with the students.
Senior Kaden Sorensen said, “The Endure Conference was an awesome way to end Spiritual Renewal Week. The worship was great, and both the speakers and breakout groups were very informative and I learned a lot about defending my faith.”
