Who We Are
Science for the Church exists to change the posture of the church, pastors, and individual Christians as they relate to science and scientists.
Our vision is of a day when churches embrace science as a means for spiritual growth. We admit that some today posit science against faith, but we actually want churches to read both the Book of Scripture and the book of nature as sources to understand God and creation.
