About Us

Scripture Union Tasmania is...

a Christian mission working with local churches
to make God's Good News known
to children, young people and their families
and to help people of all ages
meet with God through the Bible and Prayer

Our hope is...

that each person will become a disciple of Christ
members of local churches
and servants of this world in need

Our Mission is...

to introduce young Tasmanians to
Jesus, the Bible and the Local Church.

Our Goal is...

that every school aged Tasmanian would have
an appropriate encounter with
the Jesus of the Bible and His people
in each year of their compulsory education.
and that each one would be nurtured in
the development of their spirituality.
