About RE for Children and Youth

Many people come to Emerson UU Congregation for our unique children’s and youth programming. Families are welcome to visit and contact our Director of Religious Education, Beth Kline, for answers to any questions that you may have.

Rather than teach children what to believe, we strive to foster a free and responsible exploration of religious thoughts and values in an environment of mutual caring and respect.

Religious Education curricula from many sources are used to build our theme-based programming each school year. Developing faith through engaging Sunday morning experiences and extra-curricular activities is our focus.

RE Program Themes include:

• Unitarian Universalist Identity
• Our Judeo-Christian Roots
• World Religions
• Faith in Action & Helping Others

Classes are lead by volunteer facilitators who have had background checks and teacher training. Our program is supervised by our Director of Religious Education, Beth Kline, who has had professional training in UU Religious Ed though the Unitarian Unversalist Association and Early Childhood Development training as a PreSchool teacher.

Our program goal is to prepare children to live spiritually, responsibly, compassionately and intentionally in a complex world.

We have a growing, vibrant Children’s & Youth RE Program for your family to participate in!
