Our church community provides our young people with a warm and caring environment where they can explore and discover what is important in their lives and what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist.
We celebrate the beauty of diversity, and honor the various races, cultures, and families within our church community.
We encourage our young people to have questioning minds and to be proud of the many Unitarians and Universalists who have come before us who worked for peace and social justice.
We teach the history of all religions, in order to give our children a broad and tolerant view of humanity.
We nurture the spiritual lives of our children through music, poetry, and stories.
We provide opportunities for community-building for our children and families by organizing events throughout the year in order to strengthen friendships, work for peace and social justice, and celebrate the beauty of the earth.
We nurture and encourage the many talents of our children and appreciate each child's uniqueness.
We encourage parents to participate in our programs as fully as possible, through teaching, organizing events, and fund-raising.
