Lifespan Religious Education
We believe that faith formation is a lifelong process. Religious Education (RE) provides a structure to intentionally focus on spiritual growth, UU identity development, and values-based social change for children, youth, and adults.
- We stand for social justice.
- We are welcoming and inclusive to all.
- We accept you wherever you are on your faith journey.
- We care for our earth.
- We nurture one another.
For children, basic religious education experiences are available on Sunday mornings during most worship services. Children participate in the first part of worship with their families, typically leaving with their teachers after the Time for All Ages. At this time we offer six choices for children:
- Childcare (0-3yrs, or 0-5yrs if no religious education classes are offered) - Room 108
- Spirit Play (4-6 years, or grades PK - 1) - Room 105
- Kids’ Club (grades 2-3) - Room 103
- Explorers (grades 4-5) - Room 208
- Middle School Religious Education (6th-8th grades) - Room 210
- Youth Group (grades 9-12) - Room 210
In addition, we periodically offer electives for children and youth that focus on specific themes and topics. To learn more about religious education opportunities for children and youth, please see this page.
Adult religious education is offered at various times throughout the year, focusing on many aspects of spiritual and religious growth. For a complete listing of current programs, please see this page.
