SUNDAY PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH
The Ministry Program is worship based. No matter the age, worship is central to the church experience. Beginning with the Pre-K classes through high school, our children and youth worship together each week. The program is organized into small ministry groups so youth can get to know and build community with their age mates and worship together.
11:15 AM (No Middle School programs at 9:30)
Middle School Ministry Program
Neighboring Faiths (6th-7th Grade. and 8th graders not participating in OWL) Neighboring Faiths is a curriculum that will help our youth explore the many diverse religions around the world. The Neighboring Faiths program introduces youth to faith traditions within the larger community and actively engages them in exploring the ritual practices of other religious groups. Goals of the program are to create experiences where youth can participate personally in the faith traditions of others, reflect on universal religious experiences and explore their own values as they relate to many other traditions. We hope they will become more aware of the many connections between Unitarian Universalism and other faith traditions to increase their understanding and appreciation of religious diversity. In their travels and visits to other faiths, they will build relationships with peers, the adult leaders, and with their own congregation and religious community. Visits to other faiths happen approximately once a month.
8th Grade Our Whole Lives (OWL) Sexuality Education
Eighth grade OWL covers 26 topics including anatomy, gender identity, consent, contraception, reproductive rights, building healthy relationships and more. Highlights of 8th grade OWL include a return of the question box (where ANY and ALL questions are answered every week) and the LGBTQIA+ Guest Panel, which invites local speakers to share about their identity formation.
