Science in Church?

Those two things have been held in separation by many, but no more!

Messy Church Does Science follows its title to the letter. Using the format of Messy Church lessons, these fun science experiments are great for illustrating not only lessons from the Bible, but also valuable life lessons and a love of Science and learning.

These fun experiment cover all sorts of topics in biology, chemistry, and physics. They teach all about how light works, human and plant life-cycles, what energy is, and more!

Following the heart of 'hospitality, creativity, and celebration', Messy Church Does Science has a heart to pass on a passion for all things scientific, and show the wonders of God's creation. They are designed to bring families and groups together on little journeys of discovery.

Each lesson is broken down into:

  • Theme - the central topic of each science session that sums up what the experiment is about
  • Equipment needed
  • Before you begin - walking you through everything you need to do for the lesson to go off without a hitch
  • Experiment method - here it lays out, step-by-step, everything that goes into performing the experiment, prep, directions, and results
  • Big Thinking - these are the questions inspired by the experiment you can ask to the families, to get them discussing and answering about how the experiment worked
  • Big questions - these are the lesson questions that apply the experiment to everyday life, and help families to grow together, and learn valuable life lessons

Help grow a love of science and community with these fun experiments and lessons from the trusted Messy Church group, and discover how science is important in everything we do.

In popular culture there is a perceived conflict between science and faith, yet in many ways scientific understanding can enhance faith.

Messy Church Does Science offers Messy Churches the tools to use science to explore aspects of the Christian faith; demonstrate that science and faith are complementary; and enable children and adults alike to appreciate the wonder of creation. Ten sizzling sessions provide inspiration for the Bible-based activities element of Messy Church.

    Helpful in finding ways to link the experiments with faith. A few pictures would have been helpful as tried to do the balloon rocket and had to look it up on You-tube as discovered I was putting the sellotape in the wrong place so it didn't work. Would recommend it though.
