About us

Scripture Union exists to see a new generation with a vibrant, personal faith in Jesus

95% of under-18s don't go to church, but they desperately need to discover the life-changing good news of the gospel.

We equip local churches to step out and Reveal Jesus to 'the 95', helping them make and build on meaningful connections so that many more children and young people have impactful opportunities to explore the Bible, respond to Jesus and grow in faith. 

Through resources, events, training and one-to-one coaching, we are mobilising an ever-growing network of churches that share our vision, working together to change the lives of the youngest generations.

The Revealing Jesus mission framework

Our vision

A new generation of children and young people with a vibrant, personal faith in Jesus. 

Take a look at some of the stories of those whose lives have been impacted by Jesus through the work of Scripture Union.

Revealing Jesus

Our mission

We create opportunities for children and young people to explore the Bible, respond to Jesus and grow in faith. 

We are equipping an ever-growing network of Faith Guides from local churches, helping them make and build on meaningful connections with 'the 95' in their communities, so that many more children and young people have impactful opportunities to discover the difference Jesus can make.

Our priority

Those who don't yet know him!

95% of all under 18s in England and Wales don't go to church BUT many of them are open to exploring faith! 

It's from this statistic that we've developed the Revealing Jesus mission framework that will not only help your church to engage with 'the 95', but will also provide the support and resources you need to continue to walk alongside them as they find and grow in faith. 

 

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life." John 3:16 (GNB)

We believe the good news of the Bible is that God loves everyone! Every man, woman and child. And that every individual should be given the opportunity to explore who God is and the difference that he can make in their lives.
