Religious Education

"The great end in religious instruction is not to stamp our minds on the young, but to stir up their own…"
- William Ellery Channing

The goal of children's religious education is to enable our children to make their own religious choices; to be comfortable in their own identities; and to be tolerant, respectful and aware of their impact on others.

Your child will not be taught what to believe.

We will help your child discern his or her own beliefs and to act on them.

Your child will be treated with respect.

Everyone will have a chance to share and be heard.

Your child will learn about Christianity, Judaism, and other world religions.

Important religious stories, holidays and traditions are explored as sources of our faith.

Your child will be encouraged to explore different ideas.

Children are safe to explore alternatives to dominant culture.

Your child will learn about ethics and morals.

Our actions influence the world - we practice putting our values into action.

Child care is provided throughout the year during Sunday Service.
