Ways To Grow
Our Lifespan Learning programs aspire to help individuals better know their self-worth, to grow in understanding of others, to appreciate and even create rituals as part of our connection through worship. Various classes and workshops are designed to encourage reverence for the sacred, for life, to deepen one’s spiritual life, and provide a deeper connection to our Unitarian Universalist history and principles. Come explore with us!
Throughout the year a variety of workshops, films, music, book groups, and other opportunities take place to help explore our values and the Unitarian Principles. We share and challenge our beliefs and preconceptions, and support one another to find greater meaning, deeper understanding, and spiritual maturity. Each church year brings different programs which may be led by a staff member, member of our community, or both.
We also have affinity groups and opportunities for adults that bring people together to share key interests. This includes ongoing opportunities and with interest and enthusiasm we welcome new options too.
