Mission and Program Overview

Mission

ASA is committed to providing an open forum where controversies can be discussed without fear of unjust condemnation. Legitimate differences of opinion among Christians who have both studied the Bible and science are freely expressed within th eaffiliation in a context of Christian love and concern for truth. As an organization ASA does not take a position when there is honest disagreement between Christians on an issue.

ASA's unique mission is to integrate, communicate, and facilitate properly researched science and theology in service to the Church and the scientific community. ASA members are confident that such a goal is not only possible but necessary for an adequate understanding of God and Nature. We believe that honest and open studies of both Scripture and Nature are mutually beneficial in developing a full understanding of human identity, relationships, and our environment.
