Our Coming of Age program for Grades 9–10, which runs every other year, supports youth in coming to a deeper understanding of Unitarian Universalism and their own identities and values.
As they learn about UU history and beliefs and explore big questions — like “What happens after we die?” and “What is the purpose of life?” — they will build strong relationships. The finale of this program is a worship service planned and led by the youth and it is a highlight of the church year.
The Coming of Age program requires registration. For more information, please contact Rev. Annie Gonzalez at ministerfaithdev@uubedford.org.
