Faith Formation Overview

Faith Formation Overview

Field trip to the Indian Creek Nature Center

Faith Formation is an intergenerational learning space for children, youth, and adults that happens 9:45 to 10:45am on Sunday mornings. This hour focuses on continued education around the 8 Unitarian Universalist Principles and connects the principles to our church’s monthly worship theme, utilizing Soul Matters for our curriculum.

For children in pre-school up through 5th grade, you can expect there to be art activities, songs, and games to be included in their learning. There is also a snack available beginning at 9:45am. Parents and other adults in the church volunteer on a rotating basis to help and learn with the children. There is also nursery available for newborns to five year olds from 9:30am to 12:30pm.

For youth in sixth grade through 12th grade, we often watch a tv episode or part of a documentary and then consider how we can live out the 8 principles based on the content of the video.

We also have regular forums designed for adults in the congregation. At these forums someone from the congregation or a guest will present and lead a discussion on a topic of interest. Past forum topics have included various social justice issues, learning about different kinds of spirituality, experiences and pilgrimages to other parts of the world, and even practical wisdom from an expert in a field.
