All people are lovable beings of infinite worth, imbued with powers of the soul. We are obligated to use our gifts, talents, and potentials in the service of life.

Unitarian Universalism affirms all families, of origin and of choice. Parents and caregivers find support to embrace their role as children’s primary religious educators—to open authentic conversations with children about difficult topics—to grow in faith together through religious practices, truth-seeking, justice work, service projects, and more.

While UU family ministry comes in many shapes and sizes, at its core, UU family faith development is a journey of relationships. Family members connect with one another, the faith community, and the universe to discover and rediscover a dynamic, sustaining faith.

• Our Whole Lives
  Many congregations offer Our Whole Lives (OWL) sexuality education programs for children, youth, and adults which are positive, holistic, inclusive, and founded on our values. Alongside an OWL program or offered on its own, Parents as Sexuality Educators is a multi-session, small group ministry experience for parents and caregivers that affirms and supports their roles as the most important sexuality educator their children will have.
