Mission Statement

The UUFC’s Children’s Religious Education Program strives to instill Unitarian Universalist values and principles through stories, discussions, activities and worship experiences in a safe environment. Exploration of other world religions is also encouraged.

Sunday children’s programs, which are offered in a classroom during the service, include stories, crafts and other hands-on projects, and games. We also teach our children how to be part of the service while in the sanctuary. Instruction includes how to read hymns, how to assist in the lighting of the Chalice, and other tasks they enjoy.

Children develop friendships and benefit from interactions with dedicated adult leaders and mentors. The children remain with their parents during the first part of each service. They are excused to participate in Children’s RE, and they return to the sanctuary for the end of the service.
