Our Mission

Wait! What even is apologetics?

The English word "apologetics" comes from the Greek word apologia, meaning "to give an answer or reason." Apostle Peter exhorts all Christians to be prepared to give answers and reasons for the hope we have in Christ and to do so with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). In other words, Christian apologetics is about Christians understanding what they believe and why, and knowing how to communicate those beliefs effectively. We believe apologetics is a key task of discipleship and for the health and growth of the church. Apologetics is not a new trend but a Christian tradition. It has been a critical task of Christians for millennia and is as important today as ever before.

Apologetics US Ministries is an evangelical, non-denominational charity with international partners dedicated to equipping the Christian community to understand, defend, and share gospel truth. Gospel truth is focused on primary issues that speak to the foundation of what we believe about the nature of God and people, including humanity's relationship to God and each other. We believe the church is God's Plan A and there is no Plan B. Accordingly, our staff and speakers are committed to a local church and the flourishing of the global church.

History
We started in 2010 with the work of Apologetics.com based in Los Angeles, CA. Andy Steiger participated on the Apologetics.com radio show where he began to appreciate the effectiveness of understanding the culture and engaging the questions people are asking with the gospel. Over time, the ".com" fell off and the team grew internationally.

Values
We value a fidelity to gospel truth, lived and communicated according to Jesus' greatest command to love God and people (Matt 22, Mark 12, Luke 10).

Vision
Our vision is for the Christian community to be equipped with gospel truth and inspired to share that truth with others.

Mission
Our mission is to equip Christians with a biblically sound, intellectually robust, and culturally engaged faith, to effectively participate in the Great Commission within a local church that loves God and people.

Accountability
Our accountability extends from our board, to staff, to our self-imposed audit of financial statements. We seek to operate at the highest level of integrity.
