  • What we do

    SUMT stands for Scripture Union (our umbrella body) Ministries (the various things we do) Trust (the fact that we're a local non-profit organisation).

     

    We carry out our charitable aims in two main ways.

    1.) Curriculum: We believe that God is interested in the development of every area of a child's life, whether or not that child or young person decides to take up the challenge of Christian faith. Because of this we want to partner with schools to help enhance or serve the spiritual and moral aspects of the curriculum even if that means no overt faith content is delivered.

    2.) Discipleship: We believe that God is interested in giving children and young people opportunities to respond appropriately to the challenge of a Christian Worldview, particularly the challenge to follow Jesus Christ. Because of this we partner with schools and churches to provide places and opportunities for children and young people to ask questions, engage in teaching, and respond personally.

  • Degree / Gap Options

    Gap year and degree options that could bring you to (or enable you to stay on) the Isle of Man.

    Gap|Trainee and Degree|Trainee Options.

    Since 2000 we've been running a vibrant and well-grounded Gap Year.  We've spent years refining the experience, and as you can see from what's below, you can try for a Diploma in Youth Work if you want to as part of the year.  It's all funded except your pocket money, we include you in the team house (a faith-community), and support you all the way as you build into our Island and the young people, churches and schools here.

     

    We also now have a partnership with Moorlands College, where we are a placement for their 3-year placement degree in Theology.  Their degree has many options to bolt on, is funded through the usual routes, but because you come to us, we have a very wide variety of internal placement options.  That means you're not locked in to one church or set of activities, but get to shape your learning (in partnership with the call of God, and our needs too) in a huge variety of ways.

  • Give

    SUMT are a faith organisation, funded by the generosity of churches and individuals. We are looking for both churches and individuals who will partner with us, giving us what they can afford each month, or each year. This way we can keep offering all of our services to churches and schools free of charge.

     

    Please help us to make this a possibility by partnering in this way. Below is a link to our ten year vision, including a standing order form. Take a few moments to read it, and if you want to help us make this a reality, consider what you can give.

     

    Thank you.
