Religious Education classes begin at 10:00 a.m. with outdoor time to help youth connect each other and the world around them in our beautiful five acre grounds. At 11:00 a.m., youth join adults for our service, through the Story for All Ages, after which they go to their indoor class experience until about noon. All youth rejoin families and the rest of congregation for our coffee hour after services.

The goal of all of our programs is to give congregation members of all ages a sense of religious perspective and Unitarian Universalist identity. It is our hope that this perspective will help guide members in their own understandings of their beliefs and convictions.

All of our age categories are general guidelines, and not rigid requirements. If a child is more comfortable, or works well in a certain group, the parent or guardian is welcome and invited to discuss preferences or individual needs with teachers. Our goal is always to provide the most enriching and meaningful experience possible for our youth and we’ll always work with families to find the best ways to do that for your child.
