This year 2020  SU Lagos Area will be twenty  two years old from the period it was created from the old Lagos Area. We are currently made up of 10 Zones with 61 Pilgrim Groups and 4 new Groups that are being nurtured.  Adult members popularly referred to as pilgrims in Nigeria meet regularly for training and development to effectively minister to children and young people.

Our core value as a Ministry is to reach children and young people with the gospel of Jesus Christ through reading and studying of the Bible. This is carried out through our established discipleship classes currently running in the 208 secondary schools, 22 primary schools, 19 neighborhood clubs and 6 youth clubs across the Area.

Pilgrims are the major workforce in  SULagos Area. However, 139 Secondary school teachers and 79 Children Teachers are currently serving as volunteers. We also engage the services of 11 full time missionaries to facilitate effective school visitation.

Membership to the Union is free to all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.

You can enjoy quality fellowship with God and the brethren in any of the pilgrim groups closer to you. See the “Pilgrim Group Directory.”

Scripture Union is a global movement in over 120 countries around the world actively introducing children, young people and families to Jesus and helping them to meet God through the Bible and prayer. Each Movement shares the Gospel in ways appropriate to their culture and situation, so local ministry may include a whole variety of activities from running camps or school and student groups to producing Bible reading resources and working with poor and marginalised children.

Scripture Union International serves as an umbrella movement to promote development, excellence, collaboration and fellowship. Click on the orange links below for further information.

Our vision is that Christians will be the means of transforming the communities in which they live, and so we encourage children and young people to become committed members of their churches, and servants of a world in need.

Each country seeks to do this through contextualised ministry – looking at the needs of children and young people who need to hear of God’s love. To see how SU ministers in different countries, see the Around the World section or watch the video about our work below.

Scripture Union International has a small Global Team supporting its work and it is overseen by a Global Board.
