Enjoying Science CiS Annual Conference 2026: 23rd – 24th October, Bath Road Methodist Church, Swindon
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.
This is a hybrid event – available both online and onsite.

As Christians in the sciences, we know that our work and our faith are deeply intertwined. We’d love for you to join our next prayer gathering as we lift up our CiS community.
We’ll be praying specifically for our upcoming projects, our volunteers, and the Church at large. We also want to take time to pray for scientists everywhere – for their integrity, their discoveries, and their unique calling.

A prayer for the time of harvest
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up”
