​The theme in 2017 was "The Reason for our Hope". Today's Church is losing younger generations as the seeds of evolution mature causing disbelief to grow.  The culture is relentless in attacking our Faith. We must be fully prepared with answers for what we believe and why. Matt, Ryan and Kendall shared examples and proof from many sources including; Archaeological findings, Fossil records, with well documented ancient Biblical manuscripts of prophecies, and exposed many fraudulent claims from over the years of dishonest claims and misleading findings.
