At Accotink Unitarian Universalist Church we offer Children’s Religious Education Classes for Toddlers through 8th Graders on Sunday Mornings. Our classes are taught by church members (youth, parents, and elders) who volunteer their time and talents to help our children on their faith journeys.

We welcome and celebrate all children (and adults) of all abilities; many of our families have members with special needs, such as the Autism spectrum, ADHD, Cerebal Palsey, and developmental delays. Our approach is to work with families on a one-on-one basis to determine how we can best support you and your family. Please contact Sarah Baskins, Director of Lifespan Education, for more information and to start a conversation on how we can support you.

Our Chalice Children (Toddlers and Preschoolers) and Faith Activities (Kindergarteners through 5th Graders) meet on Sunday mornings during the worship service. All children are invited to participate in the beginning of our worship services. After the Reflection for All Ages, any children who are participating in Chalice Children or Faith Activities will be directed to their classrooms. Children are offered a snack during these activities and are then released to their parents or directed to their Journeys in Faith Classes (Kindergarteners through 8th Graders), which are held from 11:15 am until noon.

All families, returning or new, must register for Children’s RE and our Youth Group, Young Religious Unitarian Universalists annually. Visitors and newcomers are welcome to participate in our Children’s Religious Education Classes and are asked to complete a Children’s RE Visitors Pass for their safety. After the fourth week of attendance, new families will be invited to register for the Children’s RE and/or our Youth Group.
