No. You might be an experienced children’s or youth worker, a volunteer, a parent or grandparent, a church leader, someone involved in your community, or completely new to this. What matters is your desire to help children and young people who are not in church to discover Jesus. We’ll start with where you are.

No. You might have a clear idea, an existing activity you’d like to develop, or simply a desire to reach children and young people beyond church. A conversation with us can help you explore the opportunities already around you and work out a realistic next step.

There isn’t one set activity or programme you have to run. We’ll look at your church, community, existing connections and capacity, then help you explore practical ways forward. That might mean strengthening something already happening or exploring a new opportunity.

No. Revealing Jesus is a pathway that helps you think about how children and young people can Connect, Explore, Respond and Grow. The support is shaped around your context rather than asking every church to run the same programme.

That’s a great place to start. We can help you look at what’s already happening, recognise what’s working well and consider whether there are opportunities or gaps in the wider journey from first connections towards vibrant faith.

The four stages help you think about the whole faith journey, but children and young people won’t necessarily move through them neatly or at the same pace. Your first step can be just that: a first step. We’ll help you think about what is realistic in your context.

Start by telling us what your capacity looks like. The aim is to explore a realistic next step rather than assume everyone can give the same amount of time. A first conversation can help you work out what involvement could look like for you.

Faith Guide is the name we use for people Scripture Union supports as they help children and young people beyond church discover Jesus and grow in faith. It isn’t a job title and you don’t need to arrive with specialist experience or a finished plan.

Our support can include someone from Scripture Union to talk things through with, practical ideas, coaching, training, prayer, help choosing resources and connections with others involved in similar mission. We’ll help you work out what support is most useful in your context.

A Mission Enabler is a real person from Scripture Union who can come alongside you. They’ll listen, get to know your context, help you think through opportunities and possible next steps, and connect you with appropriate support and resources.

Not necessarily. You may already have someone in your congregation with a heart for children and young people beyond church. Starting a conversation with Scripture Union can help you explore who might be best placed to take things forward and what support could help.

That’s absolutely fine. You could share this page with them or invite them into the conversation with Scripture Union. You don’t have to work everything out before speaking to us.

No. There is no cost to your church for our personal support.

That’s fine. Getting in touch doesn’t mean committing to a programme or promising to start something. It begins with a conversation about you, your church, your community and what might be possible.

We’ll start by listening. We’ll get to know a little about you, your church and your community, explore what’s already happening and talk through opportunities, questions and possible next steps.
