Schools & Chaplaincy
Serving Your Local School
Schools play a vital role in our communities and we believe churches can and still do play a really important part in the holistic life of a school. There are many creative ways to share and show the love of God, providing spiritual, pastoral and practical support to schools in ways that are effective and appropriate to the context.
To get involved in your local schools project, contact your local schools worker.
We have created a workshop to help your church think through how the wider church family can support the school in creative ways. To go on the journey or find out more, contact your local schools worker or our Schools Ministry Manager, Mark Moorhead.
Chaplaincy
Supporting and working with churches is really important to us, it is how our aim begins! We want to help you as a church: creatively serve your local school community, be a part of a camp or mission – investing in the lives of the next generation, pray for the work of Scripture Union more effectively, or financially support us. A local church can have a significant impact on a local school because of their consistent presence and proximity, far greater than a visiting speaker or SU staff member. This is why our heart is to work alongside and support churches.
Here are some great ideas that local churches are doing on the ground across the country:
