From the CEO – Term 3, 2021

As you will know, on 1 June 2021, Scripture Union movements in states and territories across our nation united to become Scripture Union Australia – which means we’ve officially been a national entity for over a month now!

We’ve been busier than ever behind the scenes, organising for the future. As a national entity our aim is to enhance our local frontline ministries like chaplaincy, through greater back office support, professional development opportunities, and resources so they can thrive.  

Of course none of this is possible without you. Your dedication to the cause and the way you resource and enable your chaplains means they can be there on the ground with our young people – doing what they do so well. Thank you!

We’ll continue to keep you informed about developments in the larger, national picture and what opportunities that will present for your chaplaincy services, so stay tuned. 

Once again I want to reiterate that this move to become part of a nation-wide SU movement is about enhancing the support for local communities like yours. I’m excited for what the future holds and I thank you for partnering with us in bringing hope to a young generation.  

Have a blessed term,

Peter James

Group Chief Executive Officer, SU Australia
