The Q3 conference series tackles three big questions at the intersection of faith and science. Join us this spring as we dig into tough questions about the cosmos with the help of top scientists, pastors and theologians. Q3CON: Designed for pastors and leaders who need to answer
tough questions.

cosmoanthropecclesiology?
a. It’s what happens when you sneeze.
b. It’s the type of knot church members will use to hog-tie you for using the word “science” in a sermon.

Answer: c.
Ever wondered how to connect faith and science in your ministry? You’ll come away from Q3 with a renewed excitement about God’s Word and a fresh, informed perspective on the sciences. Join us as we tackle three big questions at the intersection of faith and science.
