Religious Education Program

If you have any questions about our program for children and youth, contact our Director of Religious Education, Ryan Hoffland, at nuuc.re@sbcglobal.net .  The Northwoods RE Committee has published a brochure which provides information about the entire RE program including curriculum, calendar, and programs offered for each age group..

Religious Educational Philosophy
Religious education is an important commitment that we make to our children, our community, and ourselves. It is often the reason that people seek out and join religious communities. Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Church’s (NUUC) Religious Education program has adopted the philosophy of providing a foundation for the lifelong endeavor of identifying that which is valuable and meaningful. The Religious Education program will create opportunities for children and youth to learn and practice Unitarian Universalist principles and traditions.

NUUC will equip our young people with the tools needed to live lives which reflect those principles and traditions. Our religious community will carry out this vision by weaving together:

• Education in classroom or group settings.

• Ritual and worship by having weekly Children’s Chapel.

• Social interaction with weekly fellowships.

• Social action and service by hosting monthly church wide social action projects.
