Ark Encounter, Answers Center
Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach. (1 Timothy 3:2)
Compromise. It’s insidious. It’s destructive. It’s all around us. And we often don’t notice the slow rot until it’s too late.
Theological, biblical, and personal compromise slowly but surely kill everything they touch. God’s call to ministers of his gospel is to remain faithful, no matter the temptation to compromise. They are to be above reproach in their walk with Christ, their treatment of others, and their teaching of the Word.
Join us as we unpack what it means to be faithful in an age of compromise at our 2026 Answers for Pastors and Leaders. This conference is designed for pastors and other Christian leaders, but anyone is welcome to attend. Registration includes the conference, five-day Ark Encounter and Creation Museum admission, and complimentary parking.
We hope to see you there!
