“I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.” – Isaiah 45:5
What does it mean to believe in a world full of competing voices, worldviews, and truth claims? No Rivals is a one-day apologetics conference designed to help students think clearly, ask honest questions, and grow in confidence that the God of the Bible stands alone.
We’re really pleased to be joined by Abdu Murray, an internationally respected speaker who engages thoughtfully with Christianity, culture, and the questions people are asking today.
The day is aimed at high school and university students, but is open to anyone who wants to better understand and articulate the Christian faith. Whether you’re exploring Christianity, working through doubts, or wanting to be better equipped to share your faith, this conference is designed with you in mind.
Across the day, we’ll be looking at what it means to say that God has no rivals – not just as a statement of belief, but as something that shapes how we understand truth, identity, and the world around us.
We’d love to have you there.
