Celebrating Creation
  • One of the primary aims of the Test of FAITH project is to help meet the enormous need in churches and parachurch groups for accessible materials on science and Christianity.

    The film introduces practising scientists who have a sincere Christian faith, even at the highest levels of academia. All of us can share their experience of awe when they find out more about God's creation through science.

    The book tells the stories of ten of the scientists featured in the documentary - their personal discovery of faith and how that has affected their work. It's short and an easy read, suitable for giving away to friends and family.

    The course was developed with church home groups or other focused study groups in mind, and is suitable for people with a variety of educational levels and backgrounds.

  • All-age service resource

    Celebrating God's Creation is a flexible multimedia resource designed to help churches to hold a very positive Sunday service celebrating the world God has made, and support the scientists in their congregation. Developed in partnership with Bible Society, it includes three specially commissioned videos. It has been translated into Spanish .


  • Events

    If you would like a speaker for a service or event on a science-based topic, or would be interested in hosting a youth or schools event, please contact us.


  • Youth and Children

    The youth material was written by a YFC staff member to help Christian youth groups explore issues relevant to them at their own pace.

    If your church has links with any schools, or you have teachers in your congregation, they will appreciate the school material, which include lesson plans and activities to accompany segments of the DVD, suitable for both secular or faith based schools.

    The Faraday Institute now has a dedicated team to work with and develop materials for youth and children in schools and churches, as well as training their teachers and leaders. Find out more.
