CHC Monthly Teen Event

10 a.m. to 1 p.m. 2nd Friday of every month at Cornerstone Event Center in Lowell, AR. Teen event is for any homeschooled student (7th grade and/or 13 years old+). Parents are welcome to drop off or stay.

10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.– Apologetics Course Fearless Faith DVD Curriculum taught by Dana & Kimberly Williams (See description below.)

11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. – lunch, fellowship & hangout – CHC’s teen fellowship time has been a favorite for our families involved. This is a great opportunity to meet other local teens. Bring a sack lunch, card & board games for indoor, balls for outdoor, etc.

*About the course - The Christian faith is being strongly challenged from nearly every segment of society, from the college classroom to the corporate boardroom. In fact, college professors are five times more likely to be atheists than the general public, and more than half of professors have unfavorable feelings toward Evangelical Christians. Add to this, a barrage of “sensitivity training,” politically correct indoctrination and peer pressure both at school and in the workplace, and we have a perfect storm, toxic to faith.  Unfortunately, most students and adults go into that hostile environment unarmed and unprepared.  That’s why the Fearless Faith teaching is essential! 

You will learn practical helps including:

  • What’s the one essential critical thinking skill you need to be fearless in your faith?
  • How should you respond when professors or co-workers challenge your faith?
  • What are the four most important questions to ask unbelievers?
  • I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist (and the cold case evidence for Christianity) 
  • How can you resist sexual totalitarianism?
  • How do we know Jesus really rose from the dead?
  • What can you do when the university tries to close down your Christian club, or prevent your Christian speaker from speaking on campus?
  • Answering the four toughest objections to Christianity
  • How to combat campus speech codes and other unconstitutional policies
  • Why atheists need God to make their case
  • The Top Ten Apps you must have on your smartphone
  • And much more!
