Reality Student Apologetics Conference Seattle 2026

It was held at Crossroads Bible Church, 15815 SE 37th Street, Bellevue, Washington 98006.

The suggested audience was middle school through college students, plus parents and student leaders.

It suited Christian middle school through college students and their parents and youth leaders, since the two-day program was run by Stand to Reason speakers such as Tim Barnett, Alan Shlemon and Greg Koukl and centred on responding to rival worldviews and science-based objections to faith. Teachers were offered a practical extra, with over 10 ACSI continuing education units billed as available, and a livestream was billed for those who could not travel to Bellevue. Adults without students, or attendees wanting a general academic philosophy meeting, would have gotten less from a youth-oriented format.

Attendees at church-hosted student and youth conferences usually wear casual everyday clothes such as jeans and a sweatshirt. October in the Seattle area is cool and often wet, so a rain jacket or layers were practical.
