Reasons to Believe is an international, outreach-oriented, science apologetics ministry. Our mission is to spread the Christian gospel by demonstrating that sound reason and scientific research—including the very latest discoveries—consistently support, rather than erode, confidence in the truth of the Bible and faith in the personal, transcendent God revealed in both Scripture and nature.

We are seeking a full-time scholar community program coordinator to provide administrative support to the Scholar Community Program Department, specifically helping to carry out the objectives of the Scholar Community, Apologetics Community, and Visiting Scholar Program. These programs help equip and platform scientists, theologians, physicians, philosophers, lay-apologists, and other professionals to explore connections between science and the Christian faith to open hearts to the gospel.
