​Children's Religious Education

Here at the Unitarian Church of Hinsdale we have a continuing commitment to the spiritually rich and psychologically sound nurture of your children and youth. Our comprehensive program embodies our Unitarian Universalism principles and heritage. We seek to provide our young people with opportunities for worship, learning and fellowship activities that will guide them along their spiritual journey. See details about our religious education programs for children.

Our Director of Religious Education, Pam Fodor, with support from our strong Religious Education Committee, take great care in preparing fun, captivating, classes, workshops, activities and worship services to help our young people explore their Unitarian Universalist beliefs and values as they grow and mature.

Pam Fodor is happy to speak with you further about the program. Please feel free to contact her at 630-323-2885 or [email protected].

Mission Statement
​The goals of the children and youth religious education program are to cultivate:

* a UU perspective toward life
* attitudes of inquiry
* an appreciation of nature
* excitement and reverence for life
* a joy of companionship
* an evaluation of worth and beauty
* a willingness to contemplate those things which are deep and meaningful

Without imposing specific doctrine(s) upon our young people we strive to teach a way of thinking and a way of approaching life as a Unitarian Universalist. We aspire to this goal through

​* age appropriate curricula
* worship services
* examples of our own adults’ contemplation of life and religion
* group service projects
* social gatherings
* special workshops
