Hello, and thanks for looking us up.
-
What is X:site?
X:site = the place of the cross!
We are a bi-monthly town / city wide event run in partnership with local churches, supported by Scripture Union.
X:site is for anyone ages 8-11 who have some contact with a local church through Sunday groups, midweek clubs, uniformed groups, school links AND their friends.
-
What do we do?
We join together to make friends across a town / city learn more about Jesus, to worship him, with videos, live band and lots of messy games AND HAVE LOADS AND LOADS OF FUN!!!!!!

How did X:site start?
X:site began in Leeds in May 2004 to draw children together from across the churches to help them feel part of the broader Christian community in the area and to support local churches in their ministry with children. Children have been keen to invite their friends and local churches are encouraged to build on these links into their local communities. The X:site logo reminds us that when children are drawn together at the foot of the cross, their impact will spread out across a whole area. So far X:site has impacted 100s of children and volunteers from across church denominations. Each X:site will look slightly different, as the event responds to and is owned by that community. However, common to each X:site are the CORE aims:
-
- To challenge the children to live out their faith at home, at school and with their friends
- To provide an opportunity for children who attend church regularly to invite their friends to an event to learn about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus
- To teach God's Word faithfully and in a manner that is relevant to children's culture
- To encourage and support those children who attend church regularly by giving them a different opportunity in which they can learn from, respond to and experience God in a different context.
-
Would you like to see X:site in your area?
Our prayer is to see X:sites in towns and cities across the country, all run with volunteers from across the churches. This is just one way in which we believe God is going to impact the next generation.
If you would like to know more contact clarel@scriptureunion.org.uk for more details and to arrange a visit to one of the current X:sites.
