Children's Religious Exploration
The Religious Exploration program at FCB aims to provide an enlightening, engaging and rewarding religious educational experience for all children that:
-
Is grounded in the principles of Unitarian Universalism
-
Focuses on fundamental human values, life skills, and spiritual development and exploration
-
Encourages an understanding and acceptance of all religions
-
Creates a sense of belonging to the entire church community
We offer a variety of programs on Sunday morning (9:00 am, 11:00 am), and beyond, that capture the interest of children and help educate them on key social, spiritual and relational topics. Nursery care is provided for children ages 0-6 during both services.

PreK - Kindergarten - 1st Grade
Class: Spirit Play
Spirit Play is an active way of thinking about religious education. The lessons utilize a Montessori framework to model authentic religious questioning, the freedom to search for one's own meaning, and perhaps most importantly, spiritual learning through fun and creativity. This class is open to preschoolers and kindergarteners aged 4 - 6. Currently this class is doing a Spirit Play-Style Curriculum. Each week features a storybook, reflection time, and open play. Sign up here.
2nd - 4th Grade Class: UU Identity Formation
This class will be doing a curriculum this Fall developing their identity and self-understanding as Unitarian Universalists. We will use games, crafts, art projects, stories, and other activities to help our young learners learn about their community and their religious tradition. Next Spring, the class will focus on Bible literacy. Sign up here.
5th - 8th Grade Class:
Crossing Paths
This Fall, the 5th-8th graders will learn about other religions with the Crossing Paths curriculum. Through a combination of classroom-style learning and field trips to nearby religious communities, the middle schoolers will develop an understanding of their friends and neighbors' religious traditions.
