6^th grade thru High School

We welcome all families who are looking for a spiritual home.

Students will use Soul Matters themes to explore the same questions we explore as a church community with an age-appropriate curriculum. The Soul Matters Sharing Circle is a network of Unitarian Universalist congregations who follow the same monthly themes; the classes our students enjoy reflect the same themes being experienced by the adults in our congregation. These students have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of subjects within our Sunday morning classes. Subjects can include all UU sources, Unitarian-Universalism, Community activism, Religious Symbolism, current events, climate change, and many more.

Covid Update:

Youth Groups 6-8 and 9-12:

On Sundays when Religious Education is in session, our students join their families for the beginning of the Worship Service in the sanctuary at 10:45. Children will be invited to their classes with a song, at which point they will adjourn to their classrooms for their Soul Matters activities from 11-12pm.
