Resources
Free online seasonal training
Throughout the year we offer free online training sessions to help equip you as you prepare for key times of the year (Easter, Summer, Halloween and Christmas). These sessions aren't about selling you our latest resources (as good as they may be!) but they are all about training and equipping you to engage with the 95% of under-18s not in church as they Connect, Explore, Respond and Grow in their journey of faith.
To access these free training sessions, you will need to have signed up to receive Mission Support from Scripture Union. Discover more about Mission Support and how, together, we can unlock the full potential of your outreach to children and young people who don't go to church.
Aged 16 – 21 and interested in leadership?
Why not consider taking part in our brand new Young Leaders Development Programme?
Every year, as part of our holidays and events programme, we create opportunities for young people between the ages of 17 and 21 to develop their leadership skills and volunteer alongside our Event Leaders.
Discover more about the difference that you can make, as well as how we can support and equip you!
A flexible and adaptable framework for mission
Scripture Union's Mission Support centres on the application of our Revealing Jesus mission framework, helping you and your church journey effectively with children and young people through each stage of their faith journey – Connect, Explore, Respond and Grow.
*All of our training is provided free of charge. However, we may on occasions need to charge a fee to cover costs (such as venue hire and provision of food) where necessary. Such fees will be kept as low as possible and will be clearly indicated.
