The Congregation's Children and Youth Religious Education Program provides opportunities for youngsters to grow in the understanding of who they are, within the framework of our Unitarian Universalist Principles:
Love Surrounds Us (Ages 3 - 6) explores the Unitarian Universalist Principles in the context of the Beloved Community of family/home, school, and neighborhood. Participants engage in activities that emphasize the love they feel in community.
Toolbox of Faith (Ages 6 - 9) invites children to reflect on qualities of our Unitarian Universalist faith - integrity, courage, and love - as tools they can use in living their lives and building their own faith.
Amazing Grace (Ages 9 - 12) guides youngsters through ways to determine right from wrong with a Unitarian Universalist perspective, and act on their new understandings.
Youth Group (High School Ages) meets twice per month. Through discussion, a service project and other activities, the members build relationships, experience a greater sense of belonging, and feel supported in their spiritual journey.
We also have nursery care for infants and children under the age of 3.

Religious Education for All Ages and Stages
