Religious Education
for Children & Youth
|
Welcome!
We are
very excited about our Religious Education (RE) Program! We hope you and your family are as excited as
we are. We have a wonderful group of
volunteer teachers who are working with the future leaders of this church and
Unitarian Universalism. They are the
most important people in this church, because of their mission – to provide the
children, the future leaders of this church, an inspiring and nourishing
liberal religious home where they will learn the Principles of Unitarian
Universalism and become champions of justice, diversity, and environmental
stewardship. We are committed to
providing a full and rewarding Religious
Education program for the children and youth in our church family, and look forward
to many valuable experiences working together to make our dreams a reality.

Our
Philosophy of Children &Youth Religious Education
Liberal
Religious Education:
- Is
centered on the individual. All have
different needs and are at different stages of life. We affirm the worth and
dignity of each person.
- Builds
community. We seek to provide a sense of
belonging, acceptance, warmth, and caring.
- Promotes
liberal religion. We educate youth about
our Unitarian Universalist heritage. We
teach and practice our Unitarian Universalist Principles.
- Develops
the whole person. We recognize faith is
of the heart and the mind, and it motivates our actions. We appreciate that science and reason, myth
and ritual are equally important.
- Affirms
the primary importance of the family in religious education. We recognize that religious education is a
life-long process.
