Children’s programs at UUCT are designed to help children develop spiritual values, ethical sensitivity, and an understanding of Judeo-Christian and other religious traditions.

Children's Religious Education (CRE) classes are offered for children of ages 3-14 years; children attend the beginning of the Sunday service and leave for their classes midway through the service. Childcare is available for infants and toddlers; parents may leave small children in the nursery prior to the service.
There are four CRE groups:
birth to age 4- nursery
Ages 4-8- Lower CRE
Ages 9-14 Upper CRE
Teens (15+years) meet on most Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00pm, and on occasion during the week.


OUR WHOLE LIVES(OWL):
Our Whole Lives is an age-appropriate sexuality education program designed by Unitarian Universalist Association. This session will be offered this coming fall to youth in grades 7-9+.
Our Whole Liveshelps participants make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health and behavior. It equips participants with accurate, age-appropriate information in six subject areas: human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture. Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, Our Whole Lives not only provides facts about anatomy and human development, but also helps participants clarify their values, build interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality.
