📅 Friday 4 September
🕕 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Join us for a special evening at the Thinking Matters New Zealand Apologetics Gala Dinner, an elegant night of dinner, dialogue, and vision for the future of Christian Christianity in New Zealand.

We are delighted to welcome keynote speakers Abdu Murray and Luke Barnes, who will bring rich insight, thoughtful engagement, and compelling perspectives on faith, reason, science, and the public square.

This formal gala dinner brings together supporters, friends, and partners of Thinking Matters for an evening of connection and encouragement. You’ll enjoy a beautifully hosted seated dinner alongside inspiring updates from the Thinking Matters team, stories from across our national outreach, and a forward-looking vision for equipping people across New Zealand to think clearly and confidently about the Christian faith.

More than a dinner, this is a gathering of people who care about truth, ideas, and the strengthening of the Church in today’s cultural moment. Whether you are a long-time supporter or newly connected with Thinking Matters, this evening is an opportunity to connect with others who share a passion for thoughtful Christian engagement in the public sphere.

Throughout the night we will also share opportunities to partner with and support the ongoing work of Thinking Matters as we continue to run events, tours, resources, and training across New Zealand.

Seats are strictly limited for this special evening, and early booking is strongly encouraged.

We look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be a memorable and significant night.
