The Church of Sweden Youth (Swedish: Svenska kyrkans unga) is the children's and youth group of the Church of Sweden. It was established on 1 January 1993 following a merger of several youth groups within the denomination.[1] In 2013, there were 13 000 members of various ages.[1]
A merger was proposed already in 1964 but didn't become reality until a meeting on 6 December 1992.[2]
