Working with churches around New Zealand, Scripture Union's ministry impacts about 5000 people each year. We do this through the following ministries:

Children and Families Ministry:

Our ministry to the Children and Families of New Zealand includes SUPAkidz clubs and camps, the WAY2GO children's ministry conference and eXtend regional training events. SUPAkidz clubs help churches reach out to children in their local primary schools through fun and interactive clubs that encourage children to think about God and how he can be a part of their life. SUPAkidz camps are creative and adventurous and help children explore who God is and how much he loves them. As part of our mission to train and equip leaders, Scripture Union runs the WAY2GO conference that inspires those working with children in churches and local communities. Through interactive workshops and plenary sessions, attendees are equipped and encouraged to reach out and influence the children around them for Jesus. For regions where WAY2GO is not run, our Children and Families Ministry runs the eXtend training events that are smaller and more focused than WAY2GO.

Schools Ministry:

Schools are such an important place - the years spent here shape and impact the young people of our nation. Scripture Union is active in intermediate and high schools around New Zealand and have staff throughout the country that are highly involved in the daily life of the schools in their city. Our schools staff support students running Christian groups, assist in the social and outdoor recreation aspects of the school and are involved in transition work with intermediate school students. Our staff run the YouthServe initiative that gives the chance for Christian students to put their faith into action by serving a local community in practical ways. Scripture Union's Schools Ministry is also involved with at-risk youth through programmes such as Stay Real in Christchurch, and help resource and train young leaders throughout New Zealand.
