Diversity Statement
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Delaware County is a Welcoming Congregation, committed to respecting the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
We are welcoming in all the varied life situations inherent in the word “diversity”, including race, ethnicity, national origin, class, gender, sexual identity, sexual orientation, and age and emotional and physical ability. In our RE program we provide a welcoming environment to all children, youth, young adults, adults, seniors, and their families and friends. This involves affirming both traditional and other forms of family groupings in all their variety, and using curriculum and other resources that help us value diversity and strengthen us to stand against prejudice and discrimination.
Children with Special Needs
It is our goal to have our program available to all children. If your child has a Behavioral Intervention Plan (BIP) or Individualized Education Plan (IEP) at school, please speak confidentially to the Director of Religious Education about the needs of your child, so supports can be built in. Some children receive one-on-one services at school and we will work with you to seek a mutually feasible plan to best serve your child’s needs. We are all interested in providing a positive religious education experience for all of our children.
