NEW FROM ARPA:
MARK YOUR CALENDARS
COMING FALL 2026!
WHAT IS IT?
This event exists to equip thoughtful Christians with a deeper understanding of how faith
shapes public life, exploring what it means to pursue justice, order, and the common good
in a culture that often misunderstands or marginalizes biblical convictions.
We aim to encourage our audience not necessarily just to do more, but to think more
biblically, and stand more confidently in the public square as those entrusted with a gospel
that speaks to all of life.
TWO UPCOMING EVENTS:
EAST // HAMILTON, ONTARIO
