Many parents seek a religious community which provides their children with a sense of belonging, meaning, and spiritual identity. They ask questions such as: What will I teach my children about the world? What values do I wish to instill in my children? What spiritual community best reflects my beliefs?

At UUFCC, our Lifespan Religious Education program aims to provide a welcoming and nurturing environment in which our kids can explore and to provide them with developmentally appropriate engagement that supports the lifelong process of learning to cultivate goodness, compassion, empathy, and love for oneself and others. We also offer safe and caring spaces for anti-racism work, connecting to nature, exploring world religions and learning to seek wisdom in all faith traditions, and putting into practice hands-on, experiential opportunities to cultivate respect, stewardship, service, mindfulness, responsibility, justice, and the search for truth and beauty.

We believe that parents and caregivers are a child’s primary religious educator and we seek to support and encourage parents, caregivers, and families with additional opportunities to connect, seek, share, and grow.
