We are Unitarian Universalists:
with open minds, loving hearts & helping hands.

Welcome to our Religious Education Program

Providing a safe and welcoming faith development community for all children -  infants through senior high.

Children are nurtured in a faith that recognizes the inherent worth of all life and strives for a world of empathy, peace and justice. We encourage curiosity, as well as a creative response to life.  

Here we strive to create an environment that fosters a community between families,  RE teachers and the UUCS congregation.   

We look forward to meeting you and your family. 
  2019-2020 Curriculum

  During the 2019-2020 school year, our Children’s Religious Education classes will use a variety of age- appropriate curricula to connect our children and youth to our 3rd and 4th principles; to learn and seek answers together.  This year's program theme is to share values and traditions of other religions and how they relate to Unitarian Universalism.   Our goal is to encourage spiritual and ethical development, the creation of a Unitarian Universalist identity, and literacy in world religious traditions.

Our Religious Education Program offers the opportunity to be involved in:

  • Social Justice Projects
This year our children and youth will have opportunities to learn about and support racial justice, environmental justice and caring for our earth and all its inhabitants.  Past projects include volunteering at All Faiths Food Bank, making sandwiches for the homeless and fundraising for the UUSC refugee support programs.
  • Worship Services
This year's Children's Chapel will feature "Stories of our Elders" where an adult congregant will share their story about their religious education growing up and why they are a UU now.  Monthly the children participate in the Service in the Sanctuary either through hearing a story, telling a story, putting on a skit or singing a song. 
  • Art & Music Projects
Our elementary curriculums this year have with each class either a special art  or building project relating to the class theme.  During our children's chapel, the children will learn songs of our faith.  
  • Holiday & Special Event
Special programs and parties are planned for  holidays and seasonal events. Make sure to check out the RE calendar for upcoming events.

Frequently Asked Questions:

VISITORS
We love visitors! All visitors are asked to provide contact information before leaving children in the classroom. We ask visitors to try us out for 3 visits, and then, if we are a good fit, we ask that visitors register their children for the Children’s Religious Education Program.

REGISTRATION
Registration forms are available from any of the Religious Education classroom teachers and in the RE office

ATTENDANCE
Help your child have a better experience by coming regularly. Regular attendance allows children to build relationships at church and permits more continuity between lessons. Please make Sunday morning church a family ritual.

VOLUNTEER
The Religious Education program is a co-creative program and we ask all families to actively participate in the program.  There are many different opportunities to volunteer.
