Religious Education Program for Children and Youth

The Religious Education Program is designed to encourage our children to become religious searchers within the framework of a loving and supportive community. The goal is to guide them toward a faith that gives meaning and perspective to their lives and that carries with it a deep concern for all of creation.

For children through grade 8, classes are held on Sunday mornings at 9:15 and 11:00 am. In addition, for those in grades 7 and 8, the Junior Youth Group meets the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 5:30 to 7:00 pm.

For those in grades 9 through 12, the Senior Youth Group meets on Sunday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

First Parish strives to assure that all who come into our community have the opportunity to truly participate in the life of the parish. For those with a disability, fully belonging to the church may require a little more support and assistance. The goal of the Belonging is a Religious Experience (BRE) committee is to provide this assistance to children with a disability and their families, so that they may fully participate in the life of the church and feel that they truly belong.
