About Our Programming
We have a variety of programming available, separated by age. Our programming aims to help the students both have and build a community in which they feel safe to ask questions and seek to understand the world around them. We strive to be inclusive and work towards justice.  Our classes will feature a variety of activities and learning styles. We believe in learning from many sources of wisdom, and embodying the 8 Unitarian Universalist Principles that help us live better in community with one another.

Our youngest children can join us in our nursery from age 0 to 3, and is open from 10:45-12:20 There they will be taken care of by our experienced Head of Nursery Ministry, Indra Payne, alongside credentialed helpers.

In Super Hero Adventures, our young people in PreK(4) through Grade 2 can join Lead Teacher, Alex Gordon, in a class focusing on play as an instructional tool, which uses the stories of various pop culture superheroes to offer lessons related to UU values. In addition the youth will have some lessons focused on tales of activists who have changed the world, as well as also participating in preparing a multi generational service which they take part in.

In Super Hero Academy, our young people in Grades 3-7 can join Lead Teacher, Eric Halperin, in a class which uses the stories of various pop culture superheroes to offer lessons related to UU values. In addition the youth will have special lessons focused on young activists, and in the spring will participate in a special series of lessons about environmental justice. They will also be participating in preparing a multi generational service which they take part in.

In Exploring with Creativity, Youth in Grades 8-12 can join, our Director of Religious Education, Ember Kelley, in Youth Group which will explore UU Values through creative expression. We will be particularly looking at poetry, but with an eye for all types of creative expression. The class will also engage in examining the history of recent social justice movements to learn for the future, and the students will help in planning multi generational services. This class will be offered multi-platform- both online and in person.

Students in our Lower and Upper Elementary are welcome to join Online Classes from 10-10:30 on Sunday Mornings for an online lesson looking at UU Values through the lens of Pop Culture Superheroes.

In addition, we also offer special events such as Pumpkin Carving, Dungeons and Dragons, and a weekly open gym time from 12:45-1:30pm.
