A Scripture Union training event

Training Opportunities

Through in-person and online training, we're here to equip and support you and your church in mission as together we reach the 95.

Hands on top of hands

Equipping you in mission

Throughout the year we'll be offering seasonal training. 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 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. 

Coming up...

Easter General

New beginnings

Do you remember the first time you heard of Jesus' death and resurrection? Did it make sense? For many, it takes some time to fully grasp what happened all those years ago.

For those children and young people who don't go to church, they often have no context for the true meaning of Easter. Who is this man Jesus? And why would he die for me?

Join us as we unpack ways that you can explore the Easter story with those who have no idea what, or who, you are talking about. 

Join us online on:

15th January at 7:30pm
or
17th January at 1:00pm

*The link you need to join the online session will be emailed to you in your booking confirmation email. Please note that each session will last 1.5 hours and it is the same content at both sessions.

Summer Madness

Save the date! Bookings open late January 2023

It may be winter, but summer planning is already underway! It won't be long til schools finish and the summer holidays, camps, clubs, events are begin!

It can be so easy to get swept up in the practicalities of making an event 'happen', but it's so important that space is created for children and young people to respond to Jesus. 

Join us as we unpack how you can create those moments in beautiful simple ways, whatever and wherever you are this summer.

Join us online on:

22nd April at 7:30pm
or
24th April at 1:00pm

*The link you need to join the online session will be emailed to you in your booking confirmation email. Please note that each session will last 1.5 hours and it is the same content at both sessions.

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."
