Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences

Over its 35-year history, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (CTNS) has distinguished itself as a world leader in the field of theology and science. Our continued success depends on the generous support of individuals who share our mission to bridge theology and science, and there is much important work to be done.

Each gift you make to the GTU's Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences directly supports this mission and helps ensure that it will continue in the future.
