The Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo's youth education program provides a holistic and diverse learning experience for children and teenagers. Rooted in Unitarian Universalist Principles, the curriculum spans from Pre-K through high school, encouraging love, respect, and exploration of diverse topics. The program incorporates Montessori-based religious education, monthly worship service themes, social justice workshops, and a youth-led Youth Group. It aims to nurture spiritual development, personal growth, and leadership skills in a supportive and inclusive community environment.
Consistent with Unitarian Universalist Principles, in Pre-K we will learn about loving and respecting ourselves, our families, our church, our community, the earth, and the world around us. We will celebrate ourselves, all kinds of holidays, the seasons, diversity, and anything else we can think of. Our curriculum is flexible and ever-developing, responding to the interests of our students.
A Unitarian Universalist program of Religious Education, evolved from a long line of Montessori-based programming, that seeks to engage children in the existential questions about life within the context of Unitarian Universalist values.
This class uses stories and group activities to focus on how Unitarian Universalism is a lived faith that inspires us to act, live, and love our values out in the world.
This curriculum is based in a role playing game that blends imaginative roleplaying with reflection and community-building. Students will embark on journeys in the world of Covenantia, and explore what it means to live out our UU values.
Older students are encouraged to explore living into Unitarian Universalist values with each other, engaging in their own searches for what they believe is right and true, and developing leadership skills through participation in a youth-led, covenant-based environment.
