Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson Religious Education Program!

Our program emphasizes four themes:

• Unitarian Universalist Principles,
• Unitarian Universalist History & Heritage,
• World Religions, and
• Social Action

We rotate through these themes, two per year – so that they are revisited as children grow older and their level of understanding changes.  This year our themes are UU History & Heritage and World Religions.

I believe it is extremely important to help those growing up as Unitarian Universalists to develop a positive definition of what it means to be UU. In religious education we want to give our children roots and wings. Studying the history of Unitarianism and Universalism gives our young people the roots of our faith: grounding in where we come from and an opportunity to see how we’ve changed and grown as a faith. World Religions are among the wisdom sources of our living tradition. Studying this wisdom gives wings to young Unitarian Universalists who are on a path searching for spiritual truth and meaning. Learning about the world’s religions can broaden one’s perspective in that search and help one find the underlying spiritual commonalties among humans.

These themes support young Unitarian Universalists in confidently answering the questions they face outside of our faith community.  Parents are strongly encouraged to take an active role in our religious education program in the classrooms, on the Religious Education Council, or on one of its various committees.

Come learn with us! Help us pass on the legacy of our faith to our children, the acceptance of diverse spiritual paths and the welcoming faith that is Unitarian Universalism.

In Peace and Faith,

Director of Religious Education
