At First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City, children, teens, and young adults are among the most important resources in our church community. We strive to embrace them throughout the year. Here, children and young adults gain insights into Unitarian Universalist roots in ways that are both inspiring and meaningful. We want our children to develop a strong social conscience, and we provide them with opportunities to learn together. The First Church classroom is, by design, a safe and supportive environment in which children are encouraged to develop friendships, be themselves and, above all, have fun. We are delighted to welcome new families who would like to connect with a stimulating, faith-based community that promotes free and responsible thinking.

First things first, we need you to register! If you are planning on having your children and youth participate in Religious Education in any way, we need you to register. You can find this year's registration by clicking HERE.
RE Weekly
In order to streamline our communication, each week we'll be publishing a new weekly newsletter online, at https://sites.google.com/view/re-newsletter/home. Here you'll find current zoom links, information about events in Religious Education and the larger First Church community, and any type of program updates. This will be the very best way to find up-to-date information!

Full Week Faith Plans
At First Church, we believe that spiritual practices are best done as a family throughout the week, not just on Sundays. Each week, we produce a Full Week Faith plan, as a jumping-off point for our families to engage in. Full Week Faith plans are emailed out in our weekly newsletter and posted on our website HERE.
Social Media
