Children's Religious Education programming consists of participating in the first few minutes of each Sunday morning worship service, participating in classes that involve life issues, spiritual growth, Unitarian Universalist identity and history, Biblical literacy, world religions and the environment. Check here for specific curriculum information.

We recruit over 65 volunteers to teach most of our classes. Our professional staff includes an Interim Minister of Religious Education, an Assistant Director of Religious Education, Lead Youth Advisor.

To participate in our program we ask that you register your middle-schooler so we know how many participants we will plan for, so we know how to communicate with you and so we are alerted to anything like allergies. There is no cost for registration, but we expect that you will participate in the annual stewardship campaign with as much generosity as is possible.
