LEAD DEFEND REGISTRATION
Lead Defend is an apologetics conference that equips the next generation to defend their faith. Students experience powerful worship, engaging messages, and practical breakout sessions. Lead Defend will take place at Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas.

​While the conference is in Little Rock on Saturday, we will spend Friday night worshiping and praying together. Boys will stay in one host home and girls will stay in another, with college leaders.
