Candlelight Apologetics Institute
Monday, September 14, 2026
The Candlelight Apologetics Institute continues this fall with Semester Two, begining September 14.
Taught by Christian apologists Dan Fry and Dr. Jason Murray, CAI is designed to form thoughtful, grounded, and confident Christians who want to develop a clear, biblical understanding of what they believe and why.
Throughout Semester Two, participants will continue examining the foundations of truth and knowledge, evaluating competing worldviews, and learning to defend the Christian faith with clarity and conviction. Through study, discussion, and reflection, the course equips believers to think carefully, engage thoughtfully, and apply biblical truth faithfully.
CAI is designed to shape not only what Christians know, but how they think—preparing them to engage the culture with discernment and communicate the truth with wisdom and grace.
