Mission
The Center for Apologetics and Cultural Engagement equips Liberty’s residential community to thoughtfully engage the pressing questions and cultural narratives of our time. Through events, publications, multimedia resources, and academic fellowships, the Center fosters biblically, theologically, and philosophically informed dialog that cultivates faithful presence, critical thinking, and gospel-shaped witness.
Vision
The Center for Apologetics and Cultural Engagement envisions Liberty’s residential community engaging culture with Christlike love, thoughtful compassion, and unwavering truth. We seek to cultivate believers who are not combative but courageous; not merely informed but transformed; and who bear faithful witness to the hope of Christ in every sphere of life.
On our site, you’ll get solid teaching on a wide range of topics from respected biblical scholars and thinkers within the Christian community. Find out how to articulate your beliefs and offer biblical responses to important cultural issues. Our videos, articles, and events will teach you how to strategically engage with your community — in a way that reflects the heart of Christ.
As an interdisciplinary initiative, the Center for Apologetics & Cultural Engagement embraces Liberty University’s vision to equip Christians in all fields to faithfully impact the culture with the gospel. The Center functions out of the Rawlings School of Divinity and has been instrumental in the development of cultural engagement and apologetics courses. The Center also maintains an active Senior and Student Fellowship program.

“At a time when the culture is changing at breakneck speed (and not for the better!), we need people who can help us think biblically and engage the culture boldly and winsomely.”
— Andreas Köstenberger, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Founder of Biblical Foundations
