Lifespan Education

Children and Youth
Our growing religious education (RE) program enrolls more than 150 children and youth, and some 40 volunteers who contribute their time and energy to make RE a dynamic and integral part of the church. Classes for preschool through 12th grade explore such areas as celebrating self and world, Unitarian Universalist principles, our Judeo-Christian heritage, neighboring faiths, sexuality, social justice and the Coming of Age journey. Children and youth attend the first 15 minutes of Sunday services, providing opportunity to participate with the congregation in worship and to express their faith, before going to their classes.

Our RE classes provide a safe, nurturing community that encourages children and youth to grow in curiosity, expression, tolerance, confidence, and self-esteem and to develop personal values and responsibilities as they define their faith identity.
