Religious education here is defined as learning where we come from, how to live a good life, and how to figure out where we are going. 

Choosing your child’s religious education program is an important decision, just as important as choosing your own religious home. At First Unitarian, we take children’s spiritual, emotional, ethical, and social development seriously. We offer a safe place for children and youth to wonder, ask questions, and discover. We do this through the exploration of themes such as Unitarian Universalist identity and values, world religions, the web of life, how to treat others, and social justice. For a better understanding of what we teach, please read our Unitarian Universalist Kid’s Principles & Values.

Children’s Religious Education classes are offered during our worship services throughout the year, offering meaningful, age-appropriate activities for children and youth. Our curriculum is designed to foster a place to explore together in a caring community. 

We believe social development and the opportunity to interact with different age groups is important to children. In order to foster a sense of belonging, we offer a variety of social activities throughout the year such as Intergenerational Games Nights, a Halloween Party, an Easter Egg Hunt, Playground Meetups, and more!

Special Notes to Parents:

• Please register your child. This is the best way for us to keep in touch about activities.
• Good behavior is expected in classes. If problems arise, parents may be called to help.
• When a given curriculum contains sensitive materials, parents will be advised.
• Parental permission is needed when youth sign up for Our Whole Lives, sexual education class.
• In accordance with our Board policy, all teachers read and sign the UUA Code of Ethics, as well as agree to a background check.
• Please remember to pick up your children from the classrooms immediately following the church service.
