We are a Cooperative
Ours is a cooperative, volunteer taught religious education program,
led by a volunteer Religious Education Committee and a part-time
paid Director of Religious Education. All members of the congregation
are expected to participate in the religious growth and learning of
the congregation's children. Volunteers are needed to teach
classes, help with special events, address our children during our
weekly worship service and serve on our Religious Education Committee.
Please contact any Religious Education Committee member or our Director
of Religious Education to volunteer. Volunteer leaders of our religious
education classes include Channing members and friends of all backgrounds.
This creates a rich, diverse and intergenerational program. Teachers
gather as teams and plan for our children cooperatively with the assistance
of the Director or Religious Education.
The instruction of our classes is informal and activity oriented,
providing an environment for students to learn and question while
having fun. Curricula are used to provide developmentally appropriate
education to our children, and our volunteer teachers are encouraged
to use their own experiences and creativity. It is our aim to develop
well educated young Unitarian Universalists who can proudly articulate
what they believe.
