Sunday morning classes are a vital part of children’s Faith Formation about values, beliefs, and relationships that prepare them for successful adulthood. 

With that in mind, UUCDC offers a full program of classes for for pre-Kindergarten through grade 8. Our church school year runs mid-September to mid-May, during which Sunday School is offered from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m.

Children begin in the Sanctuary with community worship for a few minutes, then are dismissed to accompany teachers to age-level classes. Occasionally, we have multigenerational worship services. On these days, children, youth, and adults are in the Sanctuary together for the full Sunday service and we share stories and activities that appeal to all ages.

Course Offerings 2025–2026

Preschool (ages 3 and 4)—Rainbow Connection

Our youngest explore UU values through picture books, crafts, and play.

Kindergarten —World of Wonder 

We are part of an interconnected web! Our Kindergartners will explore nature and learn about ways that they can care for the Earth. Throughout the year they will also have opportunities to interact with our Soul Matters monthly themes.

Grades 1 and 2–Mosaic

Through stories and activities, our 1st and 2nd graders will explore race, identity and diversity in this new anti-racism curriculum from the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Throughout the year they will also have chances to interact with our Soul Matters monthly themes.

Grades 3 and 4–EPIC (Equal Partners in Community) 

Through play, art, stories, and movement, this fun curriculum encourages our 3rd and 4th graders to become active members of our UU church and wider community. 

Grades 5 and 6–Social Action for Teens and Tweens

With a focus on kid-led social justice activities, our 5th and 6th graders will study needs within our community and engage in kid-led social action or service projects to address those needs.

Grades 7 and 8–Our Whole Lives (OWL)

Our 7th and 8th graders will have a year of comprehensive sexuality education with the Our Whole Lives (OWL) curriculum. Parents will attend information sessions in September and class will begin in early October.
OWL requires a commitment to regular attendance. Once the OWL class has started for the year, new students and visitors are not able to join. OWL class registration is open first to church members and then, if space is available, to the general public.

 

When classes have ended in early spring and for the summer, children ages 5 and under are welcome in the Nursery Room in the hall to the right of the entrance to Fellowship Hall. Childcare is provided there during some Sunday services; check the schedule on the Nursery Room door for times the room is staffed. Parents also may always bring young ones to Sunday services. In baskets near the Sanctuary door, we offer activity packs for young kids to help keep little ones amused.

All children attending Sunday School must be registered here. To learn more, please email Chrissy Bushyager, Director of Faith Formation, or call 610-566-4853, ext. 203.
