Looking Back on a Busy Year!

In 2025, we hosted a dozen major events at our attractions, including:

• The 2025 VBS Showcase, highlighting this year’s Answers VBS, Wonder Junction. Our 2026 showcase will highlight Emerald Crossing (and early bird pricing is still available). The 2025 event, held in January, was sold out.
• Answers for Men. Our first men’s conference was a tremendous success with hundreds of men pouring in for in-depth Bible teaching. Our theme for 2026 is Faith on Fire—you won’t want to miss it.
• Answers for Women, which is unlike the many shallow “fluff and stuff” conferences out there. Women love the “meaty” biblical teaching and culturally relevant topics (such as our 2026 theme, which is centered around biblical sexuality) that Answers for Women has offered over the years. This conference is so popular that we now offer two identical back-to-back conferences during the same week, and the 2026 weekend conference is already sold out.
• Answers Homeschool Experience. More than a homeschool conference, this is an experience for the whole family with keynote sessions, hands-on programs, and lots of time to tour the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Our 2026 event is already filling up.
• Astronaut Encounter. This event was a first for us as we hosted three astronauts (two who have been on the ISS and one who has walked on the moon) who shared their testimonies and biblical teaching. It was a phenomenal event.
• Deaf Days, Día Latino, Nourish & Equip, and Spark at the Ark. Each of these events reached out specifically to certain demographics, including the Deaf community, Spanish speakers, local pastors, and artists and creatives.
• Answers for Educators, offering professional development from a biblical worldview for Christian school teachers and administrators. Attendees from across the nation loved the keynotes and breakout sessions at our unique Answers Academy. We’re looking forward to our 2026 event.
• Answers for Pastors. This conference saw hundreds of pastors and Christian leaders from across the nation gather together to hear from God’s Word. I heard from so many pastors who were encouraged to be part of this time of teaching and fellowship (and many are already registered for next year!).
• And our last one (besides Christmas!), our Creation College Expo. This free event for students in grades 7–12 brings together many of the nation’s Christian colleges and seminaries who take a stand on biblical authority and a young earth.

We praise the Lord for these opportunities and the thousands of people who were impacted through them.

Whew—so many events! We praise the Lord for these opportunities and the thousands of people who were impacted through them.

Ken
