Enjoying Science - Christians in Science Annual Conference 2026

Come and join us as we gather for fellowship, learning, and reflection at our Annual Conference.

Our theme this year is "Enjoying Science." Together, we will explore the latest scientific advancements across a range of fields, reflect on what it means to be Christians in the sciences, and rejoice in God’s gift of science to all creation.

Our conferences provide a unique space to hear from leading scientists, theologians, and experts engaged in the dialogue between scientific discovery and Christian belief. Running from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon, the program features a diverse lineup of speakers and formats, with plenty of opportunities to network and get to know one another.

Format: This is a hybrid event - available both online and onsite.
