Finding the right religious education program for your child can seem daunting to many parents.  Often, parents are seeking a community of shared values, and a way to help children form their own religious beliefs.

The Children’s Religious Education program at UUC includes classes on our Judeo-Christian heritage, other world religions, our Unitarian Universalist identity, and social action / justice.  We do not teach children what to believe, but help them to discover and travel their own personal paths.

 

Nursery

Nursery care is offered for infants and toddlers who have not reached their third birthday by September 1st. Nursery involves play and storytelling in a warm, nurturing atmosphere. Our Nursery is supervised by experienced, paid caregivers.

 

Religious Education Classes

RE Classes are available for preschool through grade 8 students. Our RE program seeks to encourage spiritual growth; provide religious literacy; encourage a social conscience; and help our children to develop their own UU identity. Our curriculum reflects our Jewish/Christian heritage; the religions of the world; social responsibility; concepts of God; and a UU identity. Classes are available for:

 

Coming of Age

Coming of Age is a special program that pairs youth with an adult mentor in the Congregation, to prepare for the transition from childhood to adulthood. This program emphasizes self-awareness and confidence-building, as well as service to our Congregation and to the community. It culminates in an affirmation ceremony. Open to 8th graders. Requires registration by September 1 and a commitment to attend all year. Learn more.
