Faith Formation at FUUN is possible because of caring adults who share our values, mission and vision (scroll through the full page for all three) of this Church. We are striving for a play based experience for our kids - one that helps them to build community with other caring kids of families who share our values.
Whether you're using the old language of Religious Education, or our new language of Faith Formation, we are teaching what are the things that make US an embodied UU? We are teaching to and learning from our young people.
Please register your child(ren) prior to your visit!
We provide children with an environment that is safe for them to explore. Our nursery is always properly staffed with one nursery employee as well as fully vetted volunteers to ensure that there is enough individual attention paid to every child. Parents are welcome to accompany their child in the nursery. We have a feed of the service to the nursery so that parents can still enjoy services alongside their child. As always, young ones are also always welcome to be with their parents throughout the service in the sanctuary, in the social hall (which also has a screen with the service) or on the playground, where parents can catch the service on their phones while watching their children play.
A fantastic way to meet the families of the congregation is to volunteer to be a Faith Formation Greeter! Like all of our volunteers who work with children, this position is background checked and vetted. It’s the easiest job you’ll ever love! See Rev. Jennifer or sign up below to volunteer!
At FUUN, you can expect that every lesson we teach, every game we play, every event we do together, will be done through our shared values.
We encourage children to think through their beliefs, and we honor the traditions that your family brings with you.
In 2025-2026, we will be doing Coming of Age during Youth Group!
2026-2027 will bring Crossing Paths (previously known as Neighboring Faiths)
When we are not teaching the above, we are using the following Youth Ministry Model, which highlights the following:
- Spiritual Care
- Beloved Community
- Justice Making
- Faith Exploration
- Multi-Generational Relationships
- Covenantal Leadership
- Identity Formation
- and Pastoral Care
Youth are safe, recognized, and affirmed as full and vital participants in the life of our shared faith.
Honest, accurate information about sexuality changes lives. It dismantles stereotypes and assumptions, builds self-acceptance and self-esteem, fosters healthy relationships, improves decision making, and has the potential to save lives. For these reasons and more, we are proud to offer Our Whole Lives (OWL), a comprehensive, lifespan sexuality education curricula for use in both secular settings and faith communities. We teach K/1st Grade, 4th/5th Grade and 7th/8th Grade every other year.
