Scripture Union Scotland: Empowering Children and Young People to Explore the Bible
Scripture Union Scotland is a non-profit organization that aims to empower children and young people in Scotland to explore the Bible and respond to the significance of Jesus. The organization has been serving communities across Scotland for over 150 years, providing resources, training, and support for churches, schools, and youth groups.
At Scripture Union Scotland, we believe that every child and young person should have access to the life-changing message of the Bible. We are committed to creating opportunities for them to engage with God's Word in meaningful ways that will help them grow spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and socially.
Our Vision
Our vision is simple yet powerful: we want every child and young person in Scotland to have an opportunity to explore the Bible and respond to Jesus. We believe that this can be achieved by working together with churches, schools, parents/carers/guardians as well as other organizations who share our passion for empowering children.
We aim at providing high-quality resources such as books or digital materials which are designed specifically for children or teenagers. These resources are created by experts who understand how best they can communicate biblical truths in a way that is relevant and engaging.
