Education

Educational Program
The educational program of UCUC revolves around two primary areas: youth and adults.

Youth
Youth education involves ages three through senior high school. Teachers are all volunteer, most being parents of students. Sunday school occupies the same hour as the worship service. The children begin the morning with their parents in church for about 10 minutes of service. Their portion concludes with a Children's Chat, normally conducted by a lay member, and then the children exit the sanctuary and go to their classes. Children are divided into similar age groups, and classes consist of age-appropriate materials and discussion groups.

Confirmation
Confirmation classes are held on Sunday mornings at 9:00 in the Minister's Study. Class topics include Bible study, community service, and frequent, lively discussions.

Adult
Adult Education opportunities are held throughout the year at varying times. Discussion centers around a variety of themes drawing from scripture and other spiritual books and references. Outside speakers are sometimes invited. Call the church office for details and contact information (858-453-3444).

Preschool Program
The UCUC Preschool offers a developmentally appropriate curriculum for children from two-to-five years old. The school is multi-cultural, non-religious, and enjoys a fine reputation. The school mission is to "set the stage for children to learn new ideas, understand new concepts, and develop an understanding of their relationship to others."
