Religious Education Ministry
and
Program Goals

The Religious Education Ministry works closely with the Director of Religious Education to provide a well-rounded Unitarian Universalist religious education program for children, youth and adults. They are assisted by a variety of committees and task teams. Our goals are for First Unitarian's Religious Education (R.E.) program to teach and encourage all participants to:

  • Develop a positive self-image, and to respect and appreciate the uniqueness of others.
  • Become knowledgeable about Unitarian Universalism and to seek wisdom from the many sources of our living tradition, including Humanist beliefs, earth-centered teachings, world religions, and our Judeo-Christian heritage.
  • Clarify individual and communal values to help them all make courageous and ethical choices throughout their lives, and to put these values into action.
  • Identify themselves as members of an active, caring, justice-seeking, and religious Unitarian Universalist community.
  • Explore and develop their own spirituality through individual growth and in fellowship with others.

Youth Adult Committee

The Youth Adult Committee (YAC) is comprised of youth advisors and youth representatives from middle and high school youth groups, and at-large members of the congregation. Youth members are elected at the annual Youth/Adult Potluck. Adult members are appointed by the RE Ministry.

Working in consultation with the Director of Religious Education, YAC supports the YoUUth and YRUU groups, and gives youth a voice in policy-making. All requests for youth group special activities must come before the monthly YAC meeting.
