Teaching children to find their own faith path through service, tradition, and experience.
Children & Youth Religious Education
|
Religious education at BUUF provides people of all ages a chance to reflect on our seven guiding principles and to learn from the teachings of the world’s religions, including Judaism and Christianity, as well as Earth-based religions and humanist philosophies. We strive to maintain ongoing Religious Education (RE) classes, special events, and other learning opportunities in order to nurture a caring community that empowers our members and friends to develop their spiritual, intellectual, and ethical identities in an atmosphere of mutual acceptance and support.
For children ages birth to eleven, we offer Sunday religious education classes while parents are in the Sunday Service. For youth ages twelve to eighteen, we offer a Sunday afternoon Youth Group from 12:30-2:30, which includes lunch and programming. The goal of RE is to help young people understand and develop the values and principles we as UUs see as the vehicle of seeking one's truth in their own need for faith and spirituality. We utilize the UUA's Tapestry of Faith curricula to guide our Sunday learning experiences. In addition to Sunday classes, we offer multiple additional learning opportunities for kids and youth.

Children & Youth Religious Education Support
RE needs your support throughout the year during Sunday Services, either in the classroom or at the Playhouse, and at special annual events. We encourage all BUUF members and friends to contribute some time each years to helping with our children and youth. Never fear, you will simply be providing support and assistance, unless you choose to teach a class on your own, in which case you will be given plenty of guidance.
