Children and Youth

 

Children and Youth Programs at WUUC 

 

 

At Woodinville Unitarian Universalist Church, children hold a meaningful place in our hearts and our worship. We want them, and you, to feel welcome, and we try to provide opportunities that allow you to best meet your family’s needs.

Safety

Here at WUUC, child and youth safety is a priority of our ministry team and religious education committee. Our teachers and staff are background checked and sign a code of ethics, our teachers undergo yearly training on emergency procedures and policies, and we have healthy mandatory child-adult ratios. 

Preschool to 5th Grade:

Our Sunday curriculum for younger children broadly mirrors the topics covered in the adult curriculum Soul Matters. Each month we focus on a new theme and give our children the opportunity to engage in meaningful activities around these themes through the lens of Unitarian Universalism. Discussions, art projects, stories, movement, and even service projects help children to better understand their world and the place they have in it. 

Junior and Senior Youth Groups

We are in the process of rebuilding our Youth Group programs since the pandemic.  We currently offer a Senior Youth Group and hope to have a Junior Youth Group in the near future.

Junior Youth Group (Grades 6-8): Junior youth are welcome in our elementary classroom during the service to serve as helpers and leaders to the younger children.  They are also encouraged to participate in services with their grown-ups if they prefer. 

 Senior Youth Group (Grades 9-12): Senior Youth Group meets once a month on the fourth Sunday of the month at 6:00 p.m. in the WUUC Library.  We gather to share a meal, socialize, play games, and work on service projects.
