Local Ministries Appeal 2025

Every day, young people are overwhelmed by anxiety, loneliness, and the pressure to fit in. Most have never heard the good news of Jesus.

Across Scotland, the majority of young people don’t go to church or come from Christian homes. Many are silently searching for meaning, identity, and hope—but don’t know where to find it.

That’s where you come in.

Your gift today could help a young person hear about Jesus—maybe for the very first time.

Through SU Groups in local schools, young people like Lochlan, Ben, and Katie* (*names changed for privacy) are meeting Jesus and discovering a hope that transforms everything.

“Before I met Jesus, I felt alone. Now I know I’m deeply loved and never alone.” – Ben

“Our SU Group is one of the few places we feel safe to ask questions and explore faith.” – Katie

“Having faith in Jesus has changed how I see myself. I used to define myself by what others thought or what I achieved, however, now I know I’m loved by God no matter what.- Lochlan

Thanks to our amazing Local Ministries team, school chaplains, and volunteers, young people across Scotland are being introduced to Jesus in school SU Groups, Bible Alive workshops, residentials, digital youth work, missions, school lessons and more.

But we can’t do it without you.

Imagine what your support could do:

• A lonely young person hears the gospel and finds their identity in Christ.
• A curious school pupil joins an SU Group and invites their friends.
• A child explores the Bible for the first time at a local Mission or SU Holiday

Will you help make this a reality where you are? Now is the time. Let’s reach them together.

Church attendance among young people has quadrupled since 2018.[1] More than ever, they’re open to hearing about Jesus. But they need someone to show them the way.

That someone could be you.

 Please give a gift today and help young people discover the hope and joy of knowing Jesus.

Your gift today will help light up Scotland, one young life at a time. Will you pray with us that every child and young person in Scotland will discover Jesus?
