Children's Religious Education
Children's Religious Education
Our fellowship fully supports the spiritual, intellectual, and social needs of our children. We encourage the free exploration of inspirational experiences, diverse beliefs, and a variety of religious traditions. We impose no creed; rather, we encourage each child to develop her or his own beliefs and spirituality amid the support of a caring community.
The children of preschool age and above are with the adults for the first 20 minutes of the service, thus participating in some of the music, readings, and rituals of a religious gathering. They then all are called up for the “Story for All Ages,” usually incorporating a message or moral. Children are then sung from the room, accompanied by the RE Facilitator for their own program. After the service for coffee/juice and treats, the children are reunited with their parents. If you would like to volunteer to help with the RE Committee or to lead an RE activity, please contact the Religious Education Chairperson at religious_ed_chair@bigskyuu.org.
Infants and toddlers are welcome to stay in the sanctuary with their parents. At the back of the room, there is a rocking chair, blankets, and soft toys for them to use. If parents prefer, infant care is also provided on an as-needed basis.
Adult Religious Education
Adult Religious Education
Our Big Sky Unitarian Universalist covenant commits us to encourage each other in our spiritual growth and to promote a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Our Adult Religious Education exists for that purpose.
Our mission is to provide courses to assist members and friends to develop their own intellectual and spiritual goals. In doing so, we establish deeper connections to one another in an open and supportive environment.
