Introducing Messy Church Does Science
In 2017, Messy Church received a grant from Scientists in Congregations for a project entitled Messy Church Does Science.
Through this project, we’ve developed materials to help Messy Church leaders use science to explore aspects of the Christian faith, and demonstrate that faith and science are complementary.
