Children and Youth Faith Development
Main Line Unitarian Church welcomes children and youth of all backgrounds to explore, question, and grow in our supportive faith community. Our Sunday programs encourage spiritual development while honoring each child’s unique journey.
Families are invited to register whether they plan to attend in-person church on Sunday mornings, or would like to stay connected, but may not attend regularly on Sundays.
Summer Children and Youth Programs
These programs are drop-in; no registration needed!
Nursery Care for ages 0 to 4
We offer nursery care from 9:30–11:30 a.m. every Sunday with two trained, background checked, experienced caregivers.
This is a drop-in program. Older children welcome if space allows.
For pre-K to 5th grades: LEGO ValUUes
We have Kelly Nastasi returning to teach LEGO® ValUUes, a LEGO®-Centered & Experiential Curriculum on Unitarian Universalist Values. Kelly is an experienced Montessori teacher and long-time UU. We will have LOTS of legos, a story centered on one of our UU values, and a suggested lego build and/or other activity and time for free building.
For 6th to 12th grades: Role Playing
Wolfgang Borchelt will serve as Dungeon Master for a UU Values-themed role-playing adventure. Wolfgang has been DMing for 14 years and is a life-long UU. Each week an intrepid band of adventurers will encounter a monster or challenge that is the antithesis of one of our UU values and figure out how to defeat or get past it.
