Apologetics Conference

The Apologetics Conference was a big success.  Pastor Bobby Conway and all the speakers did a fantastic job.  Great topics…a lot to digest and plenty more to learn.

Instagram Leadership Points – In order to lead well, you have to communicate well.  And one way to do that is via social media.  Since most of the students seem to have Instagram accounts, each house has set up a restricted house members only account to post house specific information and announcements.  House Fides was the first to establish a house Instagram account.  (5 leadership pts)
