Opportunities abound for children to learn what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist (UU) and to develop their own religious identity in all areas of UUCR church life. As children progress through our program, they will become familiar with UU values, sources, and history. They will also learn about world religions, particularly our Jewish and Christian connections.

Nursery

Childcare is available during the worship service every Sunday. In the nursery, children explore their world and develop a foundation of trust with the compassionate care of our experienced childcare providers.

Religious Education 2024 - 2025

Kindergarten - 6th grade (Sundays at 10:00 am) During stand-alone sessions, children will experience wonder, explore their beliefs, develop spiritual tools for living in their changing world, and put their values into action in community service projects. Teens are welcome to join the group as they have fun together and practice valuable skills for life.

7th and 8th graders are invited to take part in youth group activities this year.
8th-10th graders are also invited to do a few special activities and celebrate their transition from childhood to adolescence in a Coming of Age ceremony. For more information, contact our Director of Religious Education.

Please register all your children from birth through 12th grade HERE. Contact Director of Religious Education Linda Weaver at linda@uureston.org to learn more about our programs.

Our Religious Education Goals:

In order to nurture the spiritual journey in a safe and loving multi-generational community, we strive to:

  • Help children know they are persons of worth by providing understanding and acceptance of them as co-congregants.

  • Spark an interest in the search for truth and meaning through challenging questions and the exploration of a diversity of ideas and responsible answers.

  • Reinforce Unitarian Universalist values by modeling for our children our faith in action.

  • Allow children and youth to ask us about our own spiritual growth.

  • Experience the joy, wonder, and awe of the sacredness and interconnectedness of life.

  • Build community through service, celebrations, and FUN.
