Lead Defend Foundations 2025

Lead Defend Foundations is an apologetics conference held for students in 6th-9th grade that equips the next generation to defend their faith. Students experience powerful worship, engaging messages, and practical breakout sessions. It is held in the City Center down the hill from Immanuel Baptist Church, where simultaneously Lead Defend for college and high school students is taking place. Tickets are $45. Lunch is provided and included in the cost of registration. Online registrations will be accepted through March 5th at noon. However, walk ups will be accepted on the day of the conference.
Refunds are not available, but any student can replace another student at either Lead Defend or Foundations. NOTE: If switching venues (i.e. swapping a Lead Defend for Foundations or vice versa, the group leader needs to let Julianna Scoggins know at jscoggins@absc.org).
Online Registration has closed. Walk ups will be accepted at the event!
