Scripture Union

Who we are

Scripture Union (England and Wales) is a Christian charity helping churches reveal Jesus to the next generation.

We equip churches to reach children and young people – especially those outside the church – wherever they are, and in ways that truly connect. Because every young person should have the opportunity to discover Jesus, and too many never will. 

Through Bible-based resources, practical training and our Revealing Jesus mission framework, we help churches build relationships that lead to faith. Our team of Mission Enablers supports a growing network of Faith Guides – local people, rooted in their communities, revealing Jesus in everyday life. 

Why? because knowing Jesus changes everything!

Our culture and values

Our vision

A new generation with a vibrant faith in Jesus. 

Our mission

To reveal Jesus to the next generation

Our priority

Those who don't yet know him

Most young people won’t grow up in church. Many will never hear the gospel – at home, in school, or anywhere at all. Yet increasingly they're open to spirituality, meaning and hope. We're here to help churches step into this opportunity to reveal Jesus to the next generation. Because knowing Jesus changes everything!

Our values

Our core values underpin everything we do as a movement – the things that really matter to us as we outwork our mission…

The Living God

We serve the living God, depending on him in faith, and trusting him to transform us and the lives of those we work with.

The Bible

We are rooted in the Bible, seeking a sound understanding that is applied in daily living and encouraged in the lives of others.

Prayer

We trust in the power of prayer, embedding it into everything we do.

Children and young people

We share God’s heart for children and young people, demonstrating his love to them and inviting them into lifelong relationship with Jesus.

Responsibility

We work to create a safe and caring culture in all we do, reflecting God’s heart as we strive to excel in the mission he has called us to.

Relationship

We invest in relationships to advance mission opportunities, equipping and empowering each other in the kingdom.
