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
Nursery Care (Ages 0 to 4)
Our youngest visitors enjoy a nurturing environment with trained, background-checked caregivers every Sunday.
Ages four to 10
Our summer program, “Creating Home” for ages four to 10 each Sunday.
10–13–year–olds are invited to be “helpers in training” with the younger kids—they’ll get to choose an MLUC t-shirt and keep it at the end of the summer!
Current members of Youth Group (and anyone else going into 9th grade & up) will meet when there’s a quorum, either with Youth Coordinator Henry Zink or independently to explore a “Youth Group in a Box.”
- Play Workshop: Self-directed, values-based play experiences
- Story Workshop: Creative engagement with UU themes and stories
- Spirituality Workshop: Hands-on practice with worship elements and spiritual disciplines
10- to 13-year-olds
They invited to be “helpers in training” with the younger kids.
Youth Group (8th to 12th Grades)
A space where teens build meaningful connections while exploring UU identity through discussion, social justice work, and community activities.
