Serving Children, Young People, and Families
A Journey of Faith Since 1867
The Scripture Union movement began in England when Josier Spiers observed children playing on a beach. He engaged them by writing 'God is Love' in the sand and teaching them Christian songs and Bible verses. This simple act sparked interest and led to the concept of providing daily Bible verses.
Anna Morson recognized the need for structured Bible learning and proposed printing Bible verses on cards. This led to the distribution of 6,000 cards that year. By 1893, over 13 million cards had been distributed in over 50 languages, expanding the reach of daily Bible readings across Europe.
Focusing on engaging children with Christian teachings through Bible study.

The 1960s saw rapid growth, leading to the establishment of regional divisions. Scripture Union expanded into Africa (including Tanzania), Asia, and other parts of the world. Today, SU operates in over 120 countries, offering Bible reading guides, youth camps, school ministries, and community outreach initiatives.
