FAMILY MINISTRY AND SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES AND PROGRAMS
2024-2025
Welcome! We are excited you are interested in our children and youth programming at UUSF!
Our programming runs from September through the beginning of May. We have age-based classrooms that integrate Unitarian Universalist values, engage in social justice, explore personal faith, and build community among peers. Nursery/Preschool care is available year-round.
This year's programming begins with our annual waffle breakfast on Sunday, September 8 at 9:30am. The breakfast is free and open to everyone in our Sunday School community, whether it's your first time at UUSF or your 500th. We hope to see you there!
Registration is open for the 2024-25 school year! If you have any questions about the program, please contact Religious Education Coordinator Alicia Cover at acover@uusf.org or Minister of Congregational Life Laura Shennum at lshennum@uusf.org
ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
Our Sunday School program offers children and youth a safe and supportive space to grow spiritually, to take part in joyful faith exploration, learn about Unitarian Universalism, build community, and have fun!
To get weekly updates on what is happening in our classrooms, email Religious Education Coordinator Alicia Cover at acover@uusf.org. Alicia will add you to our email newsletter, The Explorer, which comes out on Thursdays.

A Lego®-centric & Experiential Curriculum based on UU Values of Justice, Equity, Transformation, Pluralism, Interdependence, Love, and Generosity.
Crossing Paths is a Soul Matters twist on the popular UU Jr High youth curriculum, Neighboring Faiths. While rooted in interfaith engagement, this curriculum is focused on helping youth develop and clarify their own UU identity.
This program supports youth as they explore, develop and articulate their personal values and faith identity.
