Children, Youth and Families

Horizon’s programs for children and teens equip children, youth and families to live out Horizon’s mission to Welcome Radically, Love Boldly, Grow Spiritually and Serve Courageously.

Spring Programs for Children and Teens

Ages 3-6

***Chalice Children***: Early childhood is filled with curiosity and wonder. Centered around the symbol of our Flaming Chalice, young children engage in spiritual seeking, develop their openness to sharing, and experience the benefit of a supportive spiritual community.

K-1 Our Whole Lives

Our very young children will explore topics about life and sexuality such as the importance of family and celebration of all family types; basic facts about human anatomy and pregnancy; positive body image and healthy living; and safety issues, consent, and bodily autonomy. **Course begins January 25, 2026** and children need to be pre-registered to participate. Learn more about OWL here.

Grades 1-7

In this Montessori-inspired program, elementary children will explore the day’s lesson in a format of their choice: through Art, Games, Contemplative Activities, and a rotation of STEM and Music/Drama. Sunday topics are based on our monthly Soul Matters themes which delve into life issues, teach healthy emotional skills, and support our progressive religious values.

Coming of Age (grs. 8+)

Coming of Age (COA) is a journey of discovery and discernment of beliefs, values, and religious identity. The class strives to lead youth to live out Horizon’s mission and promote love and justice in the world. The course concludes with the UU Heritage trip to the Boston area, the historic center of American Unitarian Universalism.

Sunday Youth Group
Ages 13+

The youth group will meet on selected Sunday mornings from 10:45-11:45 during the spring semester. Youth Group is youth-centered and teens have input on topics covered during their time together.
