Our Strategy

Lighting up Scotland: Creating life-changing outcomes for children and young people.

Scripture Union ‘SU’ traces its roots back to 1867, and now has a local presence in over 100 countries around the world. We are excited to be part of that global story of lives being transformed by the good news of God’s love. Our vision within that is to see every child and young person in Scotland exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus. This strategy outlines our approach to seeing the vision become an increasing reality. We believe that God’s Word, the Bible, has the power to bring light and life to the lives of people of all ages. As we create fun, safe spaces for children and young people to discover, explore, respond and flourish, we light up Scotland, one young life at a time! During this time period, the new emphasis on developing local ministry hubs is set to be a transformative approach to mobilising and connecting volunteers, churches and ministry partners. We are committed to investing even more than before in connecting with and supporting the many children and young people in Scotland experiencing life at the margins through local projects, especially in priority communities. Join us in this life-changing mission if you can!
