At UUC, we see religious education as a lifelong process - grounded in joy, openness, respect, and gratitude. Its purpose is to equip us to make wise and compassionate choices. For our young people, this journey of learning begins in early childhood and helps them grow into young adulthood.

We share stories of our origins and hopes for our future with our children of all ages, helping them explore values and spiritual truths from many faith traditions. We encourage them to seek their own truth through this exploration and by the witness and example of their elders.

We want our youth to be grateful for the blessings that surround them. We want them to know how important they are in our community, and that they are cherished for the unique souls they are. Whether a parent, a child, or a member of UUC’s community, I invite you to join in this hopeful task of helping our children grow in their capacity for caring, understanding, and making a difference in our world.

Reverend Jon M. Luopa
