Religious Education at UUCL

For Children and Youth

Welcome to Religious Education (RE) classes for Children and Youth at UUCL! If you are new to our congregation, RE meets on Sunday mornings during the service on the second floor of the church building (the level at which you enter from the parking lots). We have class on Sunday mornings for PreK-5th grade and monthly Youth Group for 6th grade+. The infant nursery is open from 10:15-11:45 am. Unless noted otherwise, the grade school classes have the following routine:
  • PreK-5th grade start in the sanctuary at 10:30 am.
  • They will be in the sanctuary through first hymn and a Time for All Ages.
  • They will be led to their classroom. If you prefer, you are welcome to keep them with you in the sanctuary.
For 6th grade+, we do not have a formal program on Sunday mornings – they meet monthly for evening Youth Group. On Sunday mornings, they have several choices for engagement. They can make use of the former RE room to play board games, read, or make free form art. Alternatively, they are always welcome to join the younger class for the LEGO ValUUes curriculum. Finally, they are invited to remain in the sanctuary with their grown-ups for the service.

Adult Programming

At Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Lynchburg, we believe that learning is a lifelong endeavor! That’s why we offer religious education programming for all ages.
