All Lifespan Faith Development Classes meet at 10:00 AM-11:00 AM before worship at 11:00 AM.

Coastal Virginia Unitarian Universalists provides a robust program of evidence based religious education.

The PreK-First Grade classes are based on Spirit Play. Spirit Play is a Unitarian Universalist program of religious education that evolved from a long line of Montessori-based religious education. It is based on story and ritual, play and creativity. Spirit Play gives children the tools to make meaning of their lives within Unitarian Universalism.  Our children’s programs focus on the eight principles and six sources.

We use the Soul Matters material for grades 2-6, and the curriculum is organized with these connections in mind: child to child, religious education leaders to child, family member to family member, and family to family.   Each week is designed around a particular lesson on the monthly theme. The building blocks in each of these themed sections include:

“Introduce It” – Object lessons and wonder box presentations to help leaders introduce the lesson/theme for the children.

“Tell It & Talk About It” 

“Meditate on It” 

“Explore It” 

“Take It Home”

For Parents and Guardians

There is a Parents’ Discussion Group that meet at 10:00-11:00 AM during the time the children and youth are in their classes. The ideas for this group are taken from Soul Matters, the monthly themes.
