We understand how important it is for parents and guardians to guide their children into becoming responsible, compassionate adults…
The Children’s and Youth portion of our Faith Exploration Program is a continuum of opportunities for faith development and growth in areas of justice, compassion and environmental responsibility for young people ages 4 through 18.
Our professional and volunteer instructors are background-checked, experienced, and full of energy. They are delighted to join you in the spiritual nurture of your child.
Classes meet weekly during the worship service and may be divided loosely by age groupings.
Coming of Age
Young teens have the opportunity to participate in the Coming of Age workshops, a year-long curriculum helping them to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and articulate their own beliefs. The Coming of Age ceremony usually features the youth reading their statements of personal belief (credo statements) to the congregation.
Our Whole Live (O.W.L)
In alternate years, we offer the “Our Whole Lives” program. Our trained instructors offer a comprehensive curriculum providing accurate, developmentally appropriate information about a range of topics, including relationships, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual health, and cultural influences on sexuality. Participants learn to view themselves and each other as sacred beings with inherent dignity and worth. To learn more about the O.W.L. program, goals and approach, click here.
