Religious Education
Our Mission
It is the mission of the UUCV Lifespan Education program that everyone:
- Knows that they are held in unconditional love;
- Knows that they are powerful and have the ability to make changes in the world;
- Experiences this empowerment as a source of hope and courage;
- Recognizes that because they are held in love and are powerful, they have an inherent responsibility to use their power to bring more love into the world.
