Children and Youth
at UUCSC
We serve children and youth at UUCSC through the Religious Education (RE) program, led by Director of Religious Education Lee Cowan, a professional educator. Our (RE) program is a place of religious exploration, where we encourage children to form a strong sense of self-identity, compassion for others, an awareness of social justice, and a connection to the natural world.

The RE Program
- Nursery care for children ages five and under is available during the congregational year, running September to June, for all Sunday services at UUCSC. The UUCSC Nursery is staffed by a regular paid provider and congregational volunteers as needed.
- One main class for all ages of children is held most Sundays September through June during the Sunday service. Occasionally children remain in the sanctuary for a Multigenerational Service.
- The UUCSC Junior Youth for grades 5 and up often split off into their own self-directed projects, such as a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, which emphasize community building and group decision making.
We strive to create a place where all children feel respected and safe. UUCSC adheres to the Safety for Religious Education guidelines from UUA and have put them into policy.
