Many parents seek a religious experience which provides their children with a sense of belonging, meaning, and spiritual identity. They ask questions such as:What will I teach my children about the world? What values do I wish to instill in my children? What spiritual community best reflects my beliefs?

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Wyoming Valley provides support to parents as they and their children embark on their spiritual journeys. We believe that parents are a child’s primary religious educator. Our Religious Education program aims to supplement and encourage parents and families with additional opportunities to connect, seek, share, and grow.

​Religious Education Class

Religious Education class for grades 1-6 are offered most Sundays.  Parents, if you’d like to have your child participate in RE classes, please send your registration to Monica Salis, Office Administrator at [email protected].

​​Coming of Age Program

The Coming-of-Age (COA) Program is a Unitarian Universalist rite of passage that helps young people transition from childhood to adulthood and usually occurs around the transition between middle and high school. To find out when the next COA program will be offered please e-mail Monica Salis, Office Administrator at [email protected].

Parent Participation

​Faith Development classes are just a starting point for the children. Parents are encouraged to find out what’s going on in the classroom and continue the discussions and activities at home. Parents are welcome to drop in the classroom or discuss any aspect of faith development with the Faith Development (FD) Committee or the Director Religious Education. We value your input! Parents are also asked to participate in the program through volunteer teaching, curriculum planning, social action projects, and multi-generational events.
