About Us

Scott Hoezee and Deborah Haarsma, Directors

The Ministry Theorem developed through a joint partnership between Calvin Theological Seminary's "Center for Excellence in Preaching" and the Calvin College Science Division. Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary are located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and exist under the auspices of the Christian Reformed Church in North America. Both institutions are rooted in the Reformed tradition but are also committed to reaching out to Christians across North America and around the world as we promote sound Christian scholarship that aims at participating in God's great project of creation renewal through Christ Jesus the Lord.

The Reformed tradition of which Calvin is a part has long been committed to engaging God's world in order to provide a witness to God in Christ across all areas of culture, society, technology, education, research, and leadership.

The Ministry Theorem is part of that larger task as we seek to help pastors, church leaders, and others come to see and appreciate the grandeur of God's creation as this is revealed through the work of the sciences. By partnering with the best that science has to offer, congregations can widen their awareness of all that God has done, giving believers everywhere so very many more reasons to praise God, "from whom all blessings flow!"

The Ministry Theorem is supported by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.
