Apologetics Canada Ministries (AC) is an evangelical, non-denominational Canadian charity (79927 1143 RR0001) dedicated to equipping the Christian community to understand, defend, and share gospel truth. Gospel truth is focused on primary issues that speak to the foundation of what we believe about the nature of God and people, including humanity's relationship to God and each other. We believe the church is God’s Plan A and there is no Plan B. Accordingly, AC staff and speakers are committed to a local church and the flourishing of the global church.

History

AC began in 2010, when Andy and Nancy Steiger established an apologetics organization in BC, Canada, primarily to engage young people—many who were leaving the Christian faith. AC was inspired by the work of Apologetics.com based in Los Angeles, CA. Andy participated on the Apologetics.com radio show where he began to appreciate the effectiveness of understanding the culture and engaging the questions people are asking with the gospel. He began Apologetics.com Canada. Over time, the ".com" fell off but we remain great friends with the Apologetics.com team to this day.

Values

AC values a fidelity to gospel truth, lived and communicated according to Jesus’ greatest command to love God and people (Matt 22, Mark 12, Luke 10).

Vision

AC's vision is for the Christian community in Canada to be equipped with gospel truth and inspired to share that truth with others.

Mission

AC's mission is to equip Christians across Canada with a biblically sound, intellectually robust, and culturally engaged faith, to effectively participate in the Great Commission within a local church that loves God and people.

Wesley Huff was born in Multan, Pakistan, and spent a portion of his childhood in the Middle East. After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition at the age of eleven that left him paralyzed from the waist down, Wes experienced a miraculous recovery for which the doctors themselves had no medical explanation. This experience, along with a great deal of study and soul searching in his later teen years, solidified his interest in faith and in engaging the beliefs and worldview perspectives of others. He spent his high school years in Northern Ontario and currently lives in Toronto, Canada, with his wife Melissa, their son Eli and their two daughters, Everly and Juliette.

Wesley is currently the Central Canada Director for Apologetics Canada and has been a guest on a variety of public platforms, from The Joe Rogan Experience, the Patrick Bet David Podcast, and the Julian Dorey Podcast to Apologia Radio and Blurry Creatures Podcast. He has participated in numerous public dialogues, debates, and interfaith events on issues of belief and religion across North America.

He holds a BA in sociology from York University, a Masters of Theological Studies from Tyndale University, and is currently doing a PhD in New Testament at the University of Toronto’s Wycliffe College.
