Religious Education

We share a vision of providing programs for all to engage their minds, awaken their spirits, and encourage compassion for others.

The Religious Education program for our children and youth nurtures them both by valuing them as individuals and by providing a supportive community. Our goal is to help young people become responsible and caring citizens of the world while utilizing the principles and practices of Unitarian Universalism in their daily lives.

 

 

Religious Education Classes for Children and Youth

RE Programs for Children (K-5): This year children are learning about religious traditions from around the world. Click here for a full description of the K-5 program and curriculum.

Youth Group classes are following Heeding the Call: Qualities Of A Justice Maker, a series of workshops that not only explore linked oppressions in our society, but also encourages participants towards personal growth in values that counteract the marginalization of others.

Our nursery staff care for infants and children not yet in Kindergarten. Nursery care is available during the service and is coordinated by Kate Stockwell.

 

For Adults

Religious education classes are held at various times for adults. Whether following a particular curriculum, such as Building Your Own Theology, or studying a book, such as Karen Armstrong’s The Case for God, these classes allow adults of all ages to explore their faith and learn more in an interractive group setting.

• We have a variety of changing classes and discussion groups throughout the year. Please check the website and the newsletter or ask a greeter for more information.

• Our Learning About Unitarian Universalism class helps participants learn about Unitarian Universalism and the congregation by focusing on individuals’ religious journeys, UU history and beliefs, and groups and activities in our congregation.

• Small Group Ministry groups meet regularly for discussion, personal sharing, and service to the church or community.
