Psalm 100 reminds us: “The LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

That phrase, through all generations, means a lot to us at Scripture Union.

We want to see faith in Jesus passed on from grandparents and parents to children and young people. In our churches and homes. On Sundays and throughout the week. And we are thankful that you are part of it.

Because of the prayers, generosity and faithful partnership of people like you, Scripture Union continues to come alongside churches and families as they disciple the next generation.

Together, we are
⛪ helping churches bring generations together in disciple-making
📚 creating resources that help people of all ages spend time in God’s Word.
🙏 helping churches build relationships with children and families in their communities.

Different ministries. Different generations. One purpose: connecting Canadians with Jesus and His Story.

From all of us at Scripture Union Canada,
Happy Thanksgiving.

What if one of the greatest resources for children’s ministry is already sitting in our churches?

At this year’s Toronto Children’s Ministry Conference, Lawson Murray will lead The Secret Sauce of Children’s Ministry, exploring the important role grandparents and older adults can play in the faith formation of children.

This practical session will help church leaders consider how to invite, equip and integrate older adults into children’s ministry and intergenerational discipleship.

Join us at TCMC on November 7 for a day of learning, encouragement and practical ideas for children’s ministry.

Dads, you have an important role in passing on your faith!

Research consistently highlights the unique spiritual influence of fathers. Organizations such as the Institute for Family Studies and Barna Group show that when fathers regularly participate in spiritual practices, including prayer, Bible reading, and church involvement, the likelihood that children will continue their faith journey into adulthood increases significantly.

What happens when young people learn to measure their value by how well they perform?

As a former high-performance athlete, Sydney Pierce knows firsthand the pressures young people face to perform on the ice (or field), in the classroom and even on social media.

At this year’s Toronto Children’s Ministry Conference, Sydney will lead a session exploring how these pressures can shape faith, identity and leadership, and how we can disciple children and youth to find their identity in Christ rather than their performance.

Join us at TCMC on November 7 for a day of learning, encouragement and practical ideas for children’s and youth ministry.

What if the sports kids already love could become a place where they also grow in faith?

That’s the heart behind SU Sports Clubs: weekly discipleship clubs where children build relationships, play, and grow as followers of Jesus through sport, Scripture and caring Christian leaders.

This fall, Jonathan and Isaac have been busy training volunteers and helping churches get their sports clubs started.

Could Sports Clubs be part of your church’s weekday discipleship? Learn more: scriptureunion.ca/su-clubs

Something’s missing.

Maybe not in our intentionality or desire to proclaim the Good News, but in the way we’re together.

Walk into many churches today, and you’ll find faithful, committed ministry happening in every age group. Children are taught, youth are engaged, adults are equipped, and seniors fellowship together. Yet too often these ministries function like well-run islands, strong internally but disconnected from one another.

Integrated Ministry calls us back to something deeper, something older, something profoundly biblical. So, what’s the biblical foundation for this kind of ministry?
