“For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.” —Hebrews 5:13
Are you ready for more in your Christian diet?
Many Christians are content to stay in the milk of the Word without ever feasting on the meat. Answers in Genesis wants to help you grow deeper in the Word and bolder in your witness.
Conference details
AiG is serving a spiritual feast for the family.
In today’s culture, there is a severe attack on the authority of the Word of God. Many churches have compromised on key issues related to God’s Word. At our conferences, your family will be equipped to defend their faith in a secular America.
2008 Conference Theme:
“Defending Your Faith in a Secular America”
These four days are designed so you can enjoy both Branson entertainment and the “Defending Your Faith” family conference.
Where is this conference?
Tri-Lakes Center
2527 State HWY 248 • Branson, MO 65616

When is the conference?
Tuesday, July 15–Friday, July 18, 2008
What about small children?
We are often asked why do we call our conferences “Family Conferences” when there are no activities for small children. We’ve intentionally set our schedule to maximize the amount of time families spend together (learning together and fellowshipping together). If you are traveling with small children they are welcome in the main auditorium during the sessions if they become disruptive we have provided space in the lobby for “little legs” to be stretched with out having to miss the teaching.
Come Enjoy Branson!
Branson offers many family-friendly entertainment options and many great places to stay.
