We invite youth grade age 9th-12th to participate in a Coming of Age program. This program is the Unitarian Universalist rite of passage for our youth. What do I believe? How will I find my place in the world? How shall I live my life? What, why and who matters to me? These questions and more will be explored as we shepherd our youth into an uncertain future. Other components of the program include mentoring, family participation, community affirmation, empowering story and stretching. Please contact the Director of Religious Education for times and dates for this program.
Our Whole Lives (OWL)

The cornerstone of the program is intended for youth in grades 7 through 9. OWL is also offered for K-1 and grades 4 through 6. Contact the Director of Religious Education for more details.
