Online Communities

3 in 5 teenagers play video games every day. In the Digital team, we want to use gaming to meet young people where they are.

We run online Bible studies as well as groups gathered around a common interest like video gaming, tabletop gaming or art.

Interests bring people together, and interests have been bringing people together online for over 30 years. At SU Scotland we want to bring people together too, around the subjects those young people are passionate about, all with exploring the Bible at the heart of the discussion.

Our online community on Discord allows us to have separate areas for all of these interests while still maintaining a big community feel.

Our current groups:

Bible Study (S4-S6): Mondays 19:00 to 21:30 

Creative Writing: Fortnightly on Thursdays 19:00 to 20:30

Video Gaming: Tuesdays and Thursdays 19:00 to 20:30

Groups run during term time and occasionally run past the end time.

Parental consent is required to attend, please complete the consent form here.

If you’d like to participate in one of our online groups as a volunteer, please get in touch with Andrew Stothard, our Digital Youth Work Lead.

Creating content, especially video content, allows us to be clear, concise and relatable in our message as we use it to reach young people online, in schools and in person.

Almost all of the young people in Scotland have a social media account, so we do too! Our Youth Comms channels on Instagram and TikTok are used for great Bible content, promoting our events and showcasing our fantastic young people.
