Children’s Faith Formation
Growing Young Religious Seekers
We encourage young people to be religious seekers, grounded in our Unitarian Universalist tradition and held by a loving church community.
Our goal: nurture spiritual lives toward a deep faith that offers meaning, community, and purpose for a lifetime.
Children in Worship
Babies, children, and youth are warmly welcome in worship at all times. Most Sundays, Pre-K through sixth graders share the first fifteen minutes of the service before going to their classes; on many Sundays the whole congregation worships together.
Parents Are Partners
Parents are the primary religious educators of their children. Talk about Sunday at home, read sacred stories together, say grace — and come to church as often as you can, children in tow.
Classes & Curriculum
Classes run 10:45–11:45 most Sundays — see the Faith Formation Calendar. Curricula come from the UUA and UU authors, rotating on a two-year cycle. This year:
Loving care for our youngest members, with a nursery coordinator and a second caregiver.
A Montessori-based curriculum sharing stories of our faith and other traditions, encouraging emotional, spiritual, and intellectual growth.
Age-appropriate learning about bodies, families, and feelings. Parents attend an orientation and are welcome at any workshop; Homelinks keep the conversation going at home.
What does it mean to be a Unitarian Universalist? UU principles and big questions, explored through stories, games, songs, and hands-on activities.
Peace-building and justice-making as core UU values, with a focus on immigration and racial justice — empowering young people as agents of change.
How We Do UU — Grades 6–7
Monthly themes invite middle schoolers to explore the spiritual practices and values that shape a grounded UU life.
Our Teachers
All classes are team-taught by volunteers from our community. Teaching is a ministry — and many teachers say they learn as much about Unitarian Universalism as their students do.
