Progressive Religious Education
Parents and caregivers come to Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations to connect with communities that can help them raise their children to become kind, respectful, fair-minded, and caring.
Our religious education programs are not limited to young children. UU education is a lifelong education. We support youth and adult education as well, grounded in the values of progressive education that foster critical thinking and personal growth.
In most cases, the education we provide reinforces what parents are already teaching at home. For example, the K-1 Wonderful Welcome program helps children explore the gifts of friendship, hospitality, and fairness, and to share those gifts with others. The 2nd and 3rd grade Moral Tales program begins exploring what it means to make ethical choices.
UU religious education is also holistic. Almost all the experiences we provide are in some way educational. Every experience is educational. Here are some examples.
Our education is not designed to deliver a sense of absolute truth, but to help each person, at any age, search for their own truths.
