Religious Exploration
Religious Exploration: Ongoing for Everyone
We believe that learning and growing is a journey that we take together.
We support one another as individuals, families, and communities in an ongoing search for truth and meaning. We strive to guide one another – all ages among us-in religious questioning, personal change, and discovering ways to better live in love and in peace with ourselves and the world.
Transforming Ourselves and Our World
We affirm the inherent worth and dignity of all beings, and we believe each of us is responsible and capable to help change the world for the better. Through continually learning and growing together we encourage and support one another, and our children, to know and express our moral agency. From anti racism and environmental justice to personal spiritual growth, using many formats for learning, Unitarian Universalists (UU) religious education taps the wisdom of diverse sources. We help one another find grounding and connection with ethics, faith, spirit, kindness, and UU identity.
Faith Development for All Stages of Life
Sunday Mornings for Children at Beacon – Children are always invited and welcome to stay in the sanctuary for worship. For parents who prefer their children to be in childcare we offer a safe space for children in our Rainbow Room. Children will be offered a chance to experience age appropriate play, crafts, stories, and begin learning about U.U. values such as equality, kindness, charity, and empathy.
