Exploring Questions
Together

As Unitarian Universalists, we encourage curiosity, growth, and connection rather than offering fixed answers.

Drawing from science, diverse spiritual traditions, and Shared Values, we nurture spiritual development.

Religious Education for All Ages

  • Ages 5 and under: Nursery services are available throughout the Sunday service at the University Gathering and children may be taken there at any point. 

  • Ages 6-11: On Sunday mornings, typically after the Time for All Ages, children at both Gatherings explore spiritual themes through story time, crafts, outdoor play, and other activities. Be sure to have them dress comfortably for play inside and out, and for arts/crafts!

  • Youth ages 12-18: On Sunday mornings, after the Time for All Ages, teens at both Gatherings explore spiritual themes through age appropriate activities, discussion, and crafts.
