Religious Education Promotes Learning across the Lifespan


The Religious Education program is dedicated to growing community and to cultivating wisdom, faith and ethical living. It is a lifespan program, committed to the idea that spiritual journeys are ongoing from birth until death. There is always more to learn about ourselves, the world, and the spiritual paths we travel.

The mission of FUSN’s Religious Education program is to

  • value the ongoing search for truth and meaning in life;
  • cultivate strong moral character;
  • promote social justice;
  • learn about other religions; and
  • develop tolerance and respect for the different ways people express their spirituality.

Newcomers who are interested in religious education for children are welcome to drop in and visit Sunday classes. The first step is to stop in the Teacher’s Room or director’s office in the main hall for basic information. Signs in the hallways will direct you to the right classroom.

Coming of Age Program Overview

“We have had to learn how to get along and forgive each other’s faults, give each other room to grow but always remember that we are not alone, we are together.”    ~ CoA Candidate

In almost all cultures around the globe there comes a moment in a young person’s aging that is marked as hir Coming of Age. Though the truth is that there is not one singular moment or magical year at which one comes of age. Rather it is a process, a becoming, a transformation that once completed is worthy of being honored in community.
