Our programs for children and teens nurture the development of moral values, spirituality, and a sense of belonging in the world that will continue to shape and support them as they grow. Opportunities abound for children and teens to learn what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist (UU) and to develop their own religious identity. As children progress through our program, they will become familiar with UU values, sources, and history. They will also learn about world religions, particularly our Jewish and Christian connections.

Nursery

Childcare is available during the worship service every Sunday. In the nursery, children explore their world and develop a foundation of trust with the compassionate care of our experienced childcare providers.

Sunday Morning Religious Education 2025 - 2026, September through June

Kindergarten - 12th grade (Sundays at 10:00 am) Children and teens begin in the worship service. After a Time for all Ages, they are welcome to stay in the service or go to religious education. We offer stand-alone sessions, in which young people experience wonder, explore their beliefs, develop spiritual tools for living in their changing world, and put their values into action in community service projects. One Sunday a month children, teens, and adults attend the full worship service together.

Special programs for 7th-12th graders are available.

Please register all your children from birth through 12th grade HERE. Contact Director of Religious Education Linda Weaver to learn more about our programs.

Our Religious Education Goals:

In order to nurture the spiritual journey in a safe and loving multi-generational community, we strive to:

  • Help children know they are persons of worth by providing understanding and acceptance of them as co-congregants.

  • Spark an interest in the search for truth and meaning through challenging questions and the exploration of a diversity of ideas and responsible answers.

  • Reinforce Unitarian Universalist values by modeling for our children our faith in action.

  • Allow children and youth to ask us about our own spiritual growth.

  • Experience the joy, wonder, and awe of the sacredness and interconnectedness of life.

  • Build community through service, celebrations, and FUN.
