Who are we?
Following the conversion of the Scottish Sunday School Union for Christian Education into a Trust, it was recognised that the new twenty first century required a fresh approach to the work of Christian education among the children of Scotland. The organisation was restyled in a number of ways, taking the new title of Christian Education Association Scotland (ceas).
We are interdenominational
ceas is committed to ecumenical co-operation in the Christian Ministry among children. The following denominations are represented on the ceas Trust:
Baptist Union of Scotland
Church of Scotland
Methodist Church in Scotland
Scottish Episcopal Church
United Free Church of Scotland
United Reformed Church in Scotland
