Keep Portland Weird Conference 2026
Portland has always been a place where strange ideas collide with serious questions. From Bigfoot sightings to UFO encounters to bold spiritual claims, this conference explores how the weird, the mysterious, and the deeply meaningful intersect with Christian faith.
Keeping Portland Weird: Bigfoot, UFOs, and God is a multi‑day apologetics conference designed to equip believers, invite skeptics and agnostics alike, and spark thoughtful conversations about the supernatural, truth, and Christianity in today’s culture.

What This Conference Is About
This event tackles some of the most fascinating and controversial questions people are actually asking:
* Are we divine, or merely human?
* Do UFOs and aliens challenge Christianity?
* Why does evil exist—and who gets it wrong?
* What is apologetics, and why does it matter right now?
Across the weekend, you’ll hear biblically grounded, intellectually honest teaching that engages pop culture, philosophy, and theology without fear of hard questions.
