Apologetics
Clarifying Truth in a World of Questions
We know that God can handle our questions.
Apologetics, rooted in the Greek word “apologia” for defense, is a branch of theology that helps us understand and articulate the truth, goodness, and beauty of Christianity. At Spanish River Church, questions of faith are not ignored or shunned out of fear. Rather, they are accepted and explored as a family to find reasonable answers.

Why Study Apologetics?
We value apologetics because of the Great Commission. Apologetics serves to clear the obstacles that hinder people from coming to Jesus Christ. Essentially, apologetics involves understanding people's reasons and concerns about the gospel and helping them, or ourselves, overcome these objections so that Christ can be known by each one of us.
