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

Beginner Group (1st – 3rd Grade)

The LEGO ValUUes children’s curriculum is an experiential religious education
program created by the UUA to introduce young children to core faith concepts through
active play. The curriculum focuses on exploring UU identity by combining stories,
community building, art, and creative block building.
Each session utilizes a consistent, predictable routine to help children feel grounded
and secure. By using LEGO bricks and play activities, the program explores UU beliefs
with LOVE at the center of the framework.

Primary & Junior Youth Groups (4th – 8th Grade)

The Soul Matters (SM) UU Upper Elementary Core curriculum, enhanced by the “In The
Middle” add-on program provides creative, hands-on opportunities for youth to explore
their faith and build a strong UU identity together. Rooted in experiential learning, the
curriculum focuses on a sense of fun rather than simply conveying information.
Students will enjoy learning through games, meditation, art, reflection questions, and
stories about inspiring UU figures. Ultimately, the program aims not just to teach youth
about their faith, but to connect UU values to meaningful, age-appropriate conversations
about real-world issues.

Senior Youth Group (9th – 12th Grade)

Students are warmly invited to participate in Sunday morning services as liturgists,
deacons, greeters, choir members, song leaders, and musicians. They can also assist with children in childcare, classrooms, and the kitchen. Beyond Sunday morning services, youth are welcome to join various creative activities led by the minister, including stained glass, paper making and book binding. Sr. Youth will be contacted directly related to scheduling outside church events.

Child Care

Childcare for toddlers and young children is available every Sunday from
9:45 to 11:15 a.m. in the end classroom located in Hawkins Hall. Our Childcare
providers create a warm, friendly environment to ensure a happy and comfortable
experience for little ones. Parents who prefer to remain with their children are welcome.
