What is WinterCon?

Know what you believe and why

Come join us for a one-day youth apologetics conference! Defending your faith is one of the most important tools a student can have in our current cultural climate, and we want to provide students with clear, meaningful teaching to equip them to engage the culture with the Gospel.

This event is open to 6th–12th grade students and their leaders.

Eli is a national speaker, teacher, and content creator who regularly engages audiences through conferences, debates, interviews, and online teaching. He holds a Master of Arts in Theological Studies and a Master of Divinity with a theological emphasis. Eli lives in North Carolina with his wife, Breanne, and their three children, Autumn, Ethan, and Calvin.
