Adult Religious Education

OUR MISSION AND VISION

 People hunger for four things in a church:  (1) to have their individuality honored and appreciated,  (2) to be in community, (3) to find meaning in life, and  (4) to have hope (from Effective Church Leadership by Ken Callahan). Adult religious education is one way to address these needs.

 When you join a Unitarian Universalist church, you commit to a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. It is together, in community, that we covenant to accept one another and encourage one another to spiritual growth in our congregations. Within the liberal religious tradition of a free church and living tradition, we affirm and nurture the quest for spiritual truth embracing both critical reason and sacred mystery.  Those who visit UUCD consistently indicate that what they seek in a church home is a community where they can

- grow in ways that cannot be done alone.

- heal and redeem their lives. 

- be connected spiritually with a people.

- contribute, that is, make a difference in the world.

 In response to this need, the Adult RE activities we offer vary in content, style, and spiritual experience.  Formats for learning at UUCD include:Discussion Groups, Pathways to Membership  Classes, Retreats, Meditation Groups, and Yoga Classes.  We endeavor to deepen your personal development through learning and spiritual growth that strengthens our collective life as a liberal religious community.
