Religous Education

Our religious education (RE) classes are designed to reflect the seven Unitarian Universalist principles. We believe that each child’s spiritual journey will be a unique experience. We facilitate that journey by offering the children opportunities to explore religious, social and moral questions in a safe and supportive environment. We hope that a child who completes our program in its entirety will understand Unitarian Universalist principles, will be able to develop a personal creed for living, will have a basic knowledge of the denomination’s Judeo-Christian heritage and of other world religions, and will display respect for other people and for the natural world around us.
