The National Apologetics Conference is a one-day national gathering focused on the theme: "The Story of Scripture: How God's Word Came to Us." It is designed to help believers understand how the Bible was revealed, formed, faithfully preserved, and recognised throughout history.

The conference aims to:

  • Equip believers with a strong Biblical understanding of the origin and reliability of Scripture.
  • Strengthen confidence in the authority and trustworthiness of God's Word.
  • Help Christians to comprehend, articulate and defend the Christian faith.
  • Encourage gospel-centred apologetics in today's sceptical and pluralistic culture.
  • Help participants understand why the allegation that the Bible has been corrupted is unsubstantiated.
  • Support the Malaysian church in raising Biblically grounded and confident believers.

The conference will be held on 25th August 2026 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

It will be held in Dream Centre, DUMC in four different locations to cater to four different tracks meeting concurrently.

Address: Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC), 2, Jalan 13/1, Section 13, 46200 Petaling Jaya.
