March 20-22 Event on North Greenville University Campus Helps
Students to Know What They Believe and Why They Believe It

GREENVILLE, S.C.—In an “everything goes” world, it’s crucial that young people have a solid Christian worldview coupled with the ability to defend their beliefs.

That’s why Dr. Alex McFarland (www.wordpress-829333-4268594.cloudwaysapps.com), religion and culture expert, author and national host, is planning the 2017 Christian Worldview Week at North Greenville University (www.ngu.edu, 7801 N. Tigerville Road, Tigerville S.C.), where he serves as Director for Christian Worldview and Apologetics at the Christian Worldview Center.

The three-day event kicks off March 20, with lectures from two nationally known speakers:
