Apologetics: Defending the Faith

Apologetics: Defending the Faith is a six-lesson apologetics Bible study to help our members thoughtfully and lovingly engage in conversation with skeptics of the Christian faith.

WELS Youth Night

“WELS Youth Night” provides a series of youth-focused events, where youth will experience an inspiring evening of games, music, prayer, Bible message, small group discussion, and fun with high school youth (9th-12th grade) from local WELS congregations in your area. The goal is for our youth to see that they are not alone and to be encouraged to enjoy the faith they share with others. The latest resources have been added with a keynote from Cameron Schroeder speaking on the topic of “You Are Holy.”
