“The great end in religious instruction is not to stamp our minds upon the young, but to stir up their own; not to make them see with our eyes, but to look inquiringly and steadily with their own; to awaken the soul, to excite and cherish spiritual life.”

William Ellery Channing, Unitarian Minister (1780-1842)

What We Offer

Spiritual & Religious Exploration and special activities are open to all children, whether members, friends, or visiting families. We begin in the sanctuary together at 10:00 a.m.to enjoy the Story for All Ages before dismissing to classrooms.

We offer a Spiritual & Religious Exploration program that teaches children what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist.  We believe our children and youth should be exposed to many ideas, expressions, and practices in order to develop a respect and appreciation for the insight and wisdom of different cultures and faith traditions. Without imposing rules and doctrines, we strive to provide our children with spiritual and ethical tools to make positive choices and embrace life with open hearts. 

The focus for 2026-2027 is Unitarian Universalism.

Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our Unitarian Universalist shared values.

These shared values are:

Interdependence:  We honor the interdependent web of all existence.  With reverence for the great web of life and with humility, we acknowledge our place in it.

Pluralism:  We celebrate that we are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.

Justice. We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all thrive.

Transformation. We adapt to the changing world.

Generosity. We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.

Equity. We declare that every person has the right to flourish with inherent dignity and worthiness.

The living tradition we share draws from many sources:

• We believe in the direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life.
• We believe in words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love.
• We believe in the wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life.
• We believe in Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves.
• We believe in humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
• We believe in spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
