This year, the EMNR national conference will be free of charge and open to the public. There may be a free registration at the door, however, so we can track the number of people attending this year's conference.
Membership in EMNR is not required in order to attend. However, we do encourage Christians engaged in apologetics to New Religious Movements to consider the benefits of membership in EMNR.
