The ten projects are part of the Scientists in Congregations scheme, which is part of a wider three-year partnership between Durham University and the Church of England.
The schemes receiving a slice of £10,000 include eco-prayer-walks, a play based on the nature described in the book of Job, scientific hymns for children and experiments in church services which have a biblical application.
The project is funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation and was launched last year.
The Bishop of Guildford Rt Rev Richard Cheetham is supporting the scheme. Speaking to Premier about his hopes for it, he said: "For people to realise that the conversation between science and religion, science and faith, can be a very enriching one.
"The typical caricature of that relationship is that they are simply in conflict.
"Life, the universe and all that it means, which come from our Christian faith - it's an absolutely essential conversation for our time, and it's one which I believe anyone can engage in."
