The Faith and Science Council of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists assists the Church and its institutions in studying and communicating biblical teachings regarding origins and their relationship to the physical world.

 

The Geoscience Research Institute is a constituent entity of the Faith and Science Council, together with the Biblical Research Institute, the Loma Linda University Department of Earth and Biological Sciences, the Theological Seminary at Andrews University, and General Conference leadership.

Services

The Faith and Science Council:

• Provides support for studies and scientific publications that are of significance for the biblical understanding of origins.
• Facilitates the training of professionals who embrace and promote the biblical view of origins as expressed in the Church’s Fundamental Beliefs.
• Selects and funds programs and resources that effectively communicate the biblical teaching on origins.

Development of Educational Resources

With a global perspective, the Faith and Science Council is actively involved in the production of a comprehensive range of educational materials, including books, comics, videos, and articles, designed for individuals of all ages. These resources provide engaging and thought-provoking insights into complex scientific concepts and the discussion of origins.

Funding

The General Conference provides an annual allocation to support Faith and Science Council projects. However, the majority of project funding comes from generous donors who share the Council’s vision. These contributions make it possible to expand its impact and support even more groundbreaking work.
