95% of under-18s don't go to church*. So let's Reveal Jesus – and his amazing life-changing good news – right where they are!
At Scripture Union, we have the experience and the resources to ensure churches are equipped to introduce young lives to the hope and purpose that only Jesus can bring.
Our heart is to inspire and empower thousands of churches to step out, Reveal Jesus and change a generation. We'd love to partner with you to make that possible! We can support your church's outreach or you can support us so that we can get behind even more churches in England and Wales.
What is Revaling Jesus?

In essence, the Revealing Jesus strategy is simple:
With one-to-one coaching and tried and tested resources, Scripture Union equip and empower volunteer Faith Guides to journey with local children and young people towards a vibrant, personal faith in Jesus.

We aim to mobilise Faith Guides from churches right across England and Wales, helping them open up God's Word and introduce the incredible life-changing good news of Jesus to local children and young people.
✅Faith Guides get our full support in their vital role with one-to-one coaching and access to our library of resources.
✅We are here to ensure Faith Guides are well cared for as they develop and maintain meaningful, long-lasting relationships with with the children and young people in their communities.

📈 Right now, there are over 500 Faith Guides reaching out into communities across England and Wales. Together we can see that number continue to grow, and ensure many more children and young people have the opportunity to be changed by the good news of Jesus.
It's about the whole faith journey
Most children go through the same stages as they become Christians –Connect, Explore, Respond and Grow. Revealing Jesus is all about equipping and resourcing Faith Guides to be effective companions at every stage of the faith journey – from making those initial connections to developing Grow Communities to encourage new-found faith to flourish.
Our prayer is that, with your support, we will be able to raise up and support an ever-growing movement of Faith Guides, so that more children and young people will come to know and follow Jesus.

"Revealing Jesus is about helping churches to be there for the long run"
There are now over 500 Faith Guides within local churches across England and Wales, each committed to journeying with children and young people toward a personal, vibrant faith in Jesus.

Faith Guides
We’re not expecting the 95 to navigate this faith journey on their own and that’s where Faith Guides come in.
Could you be a Faith Guide? You don't need to be a trained children's or youth worker, although you might be, you just need to be mission-minded and with a heart to take on this much-needed role.
The four stages of the faith journey

Although each child and young person is different, our research and experience show us that most go through the same stages as they become and grow as a Christian: Connect, Explore, Respond and Grow.
We provide resources and practical support for Faith Guides, for all four of these stages, as part of our Revealing Jesus mission framework.

Faith for Gen-Z
The Revealing Jesus framework has been built on extensive experience of working with unchurched children and young people, as well as research into the faith journeys of the 95.
For many of Generation Z, traditional church just doesn't seem to be for them, or fit with their culture, so they don't stay part of it for long. But that doesn't mean they don't want to explore the difference that Jesus can make in their lives!

Pray with us
It is so important that we lift this all up in prayer. Please join us in praying for the 95, and for churches and Faith Guides who are already walking alongside them, as well as those Faith Guides yet to come! Pray that through many churches coming together in mission, many children and young people may come to know Jesus and develop a personal, vibrant faith in him.
