Cultivating Christ-First Generations

Norm Geisler Institute

Dr. Norm Geisler was the premier Christian apologist of the 20th century. His legacy is to show that “to have faith does not mean to lose the mind.”

Our aim is to take the tools he left us in apologetics, philosophy, and theology, and help the church use them today. Further, we also seek to disciple others in a new trifecta of Apologetics, Evangelism, and Discipleship.
