The dynamic Religious Education Program at All Souls is where children, youth and families come together to build community dedicated to our mission of spiritual growth. Each Sunday, a team of teachers, parents and program staff create a safe space that fosters creativity, curiosity and openness. At 10:00 a.m., we have a curriculum-based program from Tapestry of Faith. At 11:15 a.m., we offer creative arts such as drama and children's choir. In addition, we encourage social justice engagement with our community and the world. And of course worship is a central aspect of our religious life.
Our Mission
The mission of the All Souls Religious Education and Faith Formation program is to promote spiritual formation. We fulfill this vision through:
* Nurturing and promoting the spiritual identity and growth of our children, youth and families based on the principles and traditions of Unitarian Universalism
* Developing in our children, youth and families the ability to discover and articulate their belief system, and to speak openly about their Unitarian Universalist identity and beliefs;
* Teaching what it means to be part of a religious community, to be a part of something larger than oneself.
* Providing an environment where children, youth and families support one another intellectually, spiritually and emotionally and inspire one another to act on our faith in the world;
* Supporting parents in teaching their children about Unitarian Universalism and putting its principles into practice in our daily lives;
* Supporting efforts to involve the larger congregation in our mission, because every member has a role to play in developing and nurturing our children and youth in UU principles and life.
