Central Illinois Born Again Defenders (CIBAD) is a Speech and Debate Club for home-educated students located in Central Illinois. CIBAD’s goal is to help develop and hone students’ communication skills in the context of Christian love and for the purpose of God’s glory. We offer three levels of speech classes for students ages 7 to 18, and we also offer Apologetic and Debate classes for students 12-18. The core of our values can be summed up in our motto: "Think Biblically, Speak Winsomely, Act Graciously."
