We Believe...

  • that each and every person is important.
  • that all people should be treated equally.
  • that our churches are places where everyone is accepted and where we learn together.
  • that each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life.
  • that everyone should have a vote about the things that concern them.
  • in working for a peaceful, fair and free world.
  • in caring for our planet Earth.

Our Mission and Goals

The mission of the FUS Children’s Religious Education Program is to facilitate ethical and spiritual development in our children. They will be empowered to become free thinking individuals who:
  • Know and respect themselves and others.
  • Contribute to their human and natural communities.
  • Make informed decisions regarding their spiritual paths.

Our Goals include:

  • Create a feeling of community within the classroom and the congregation as well as a sense of oneness with the larger UU fellowship.
  • Help children and youth acquire an understanding of the historical roots of UU.
  • Promote those values that strengthen us to stand against racism, homophobia, sexism, ableism, and other forms of prejudice.
  • Help children and youth develop respect for the interdependent nature of all existence.
  • Inspire an appreciation for our Judeo-Christian heritage and the world’s other great religions.
  • Guide and support children and youth in the development and expression of a personal faith.
  • Develop participants’ abilities to act with integrity, responsibility, equity, and love.
