Living Our Heritage

Our Mission: To create a fun, safe, and nurturing community that provides our children with meaning and worth; religious identity; and the means to find a spiritual path. We do this through a strong foundation built on our UU Principles ; exposure to a variety of religions and spiritual practices; and engagement in social justice activities in our community.

During the 2007-2008 church year, our religious education focus is on our Unitarian Universalist heritage.

Because we believe that Religious Education is the most important component of a child's development, we have created a program that is a balance of education and activity-and a whole lot of fun, too! Our RE program for 2007/2008 will run for 39 weeks beginning September 9, 2007 and ending June 8, 2008.

Social Justice Opportunities Here at First Church

Here at First Unitarian Church we teach our kids that we are the church of the "open mind, loving heart, and giving hands." Social justice is an integral part of our Unitarian Universalist faith. We also believe that social justice is best done as a community and family. Check the Torch and program announcements for the latest RE "Cool Deed" and lend a hand.

Worship Together at 9:00 a.m.

Here at First Unitarian we offer a variety of worship experiences for our kids and families. Our Kindergarten through 5th Grade classes spend the first 10 minutes in the chapel with their families before their religious education lessons begin. These few minutes-although short-is extremely important to the spiritual development of our kids teaching them the liturgical rhythms and traditions of our faith. During these moments, our kids will have the opportunity to worship with our entire church family-an important community experience.
