Around the world in England and Wales

Vision: We want to see a new generation of children and young people who have a vibrant, personal faith in Jesus.

Mission: We create opportunities for children and young people to explore the Bible, respond to Jesus and grow in faith.

Priority: Those who don’t yet know him!

Since 2017, we have focussed on sharing the good news of Jesus with the 95% of children and young people across England and Wales who are not in church (the 95). In 2020 this led us to launch our Revealing Jesus strategy that brings together all we do behind the Revealing Jesus mission framework.

Within this approach, Scripture Union Mission Enablers coach, equip and support volunteer Faith Guides in local churches to reach out into their community to create opportunities for the 95 to connect with Christians and their faith and, when appropriate, be helped to explore the Bible, to find out more about Jesus. At some point they may be encouraged to respond to Jesus with their whole lives, then join a worshipping community that helps them grow in faith in a way that is appropriate for the youngest generations. Faith Guides also have access to a Faith Guide Hub of digital and physical training modules and resources, to help them develop their roles and create the best faith journey for the 95. With their group of young people, Faith Guides can also attend holidays and events specially tailored for the 95.

In this way the Revealing Jesus framework shapes all that we do as Scripture Union England and Wales across resource development, regional mission, and our holidays and missions – to help Faith Guides and the local church provide the best faith journey for the youngest generations.
