"The goal of adult religious education is to develop our minds as well as our hearts; our intellect as well as our souls. This personal and theological growth leads to the individual becoming more fully human."” Rev. Bill Murray

Adult Religious Education Chair, Carol Broman 262-335-1647 - Email: cbroman@sbcglobal.net

The purpose of the Adult Religious Education Committee is to nurture and stimulate the religious and personal growth of the adult church community and the community at large by offering a varied and cohesive program within the context of the larger Unitarian Universalist tradition and principles.

Guidelines and Policies

The Adult Religious Education Committee derives programming from a variety of sources: minister, UUA curricula, committee, and interested individuals with a passion to share. We strive to recruit experienced and knowledgeable adult facilitators for all classes and offerings. It is our goal to present meaningful Adult Religious Education programming for people at all levels of commitment to Unitarian Universalism as well as at different stages and milestones in their lives. Note: Opportunities for growth and learning sponsored by the wider church community are included.

Fees and Registration

The Adult Religious Education Committee is largely self-supporting. We are requesting a donation to help cover the costs of presenting the class: materials, refreshments, curricula, and /or supplies. The donation also contributes to purchase of new curricula, funding for guest speakers, or underwriting special events. Unless otherwise noted, the general fee will be $4 per class, or $10 for classes with three or more sessions for members; $5 per class or $15 for classes with three or more sessions for non-members. If you cannot afford the full suggested donation, please contribute what you can. Pre-registration is generally required for classes, often through a sign-up sheet in the church lobby or registration form submitted to UCN office with fee. Programs may be canceled if minimum number is not met. Please call facilitator if you will miss class.

"Path to Membership" Series, sponsored by the Membership Committee

These classes are sponsored by the Membership Committee. Contact committee chair Pat Mumm-Lovely (262-643-4630) if you have questions.

Calling all new and prospective members, visitors, and seekers! If you have been attending Unitarian Church North for a few weeks or months and are ready to find out more about who we are, what we believe, or how you can become a member, this is the class for you. Classes are directed toward prospective members, but members who have never attended the Path to Membership series are also encouraged to take part.

This series gives you the chance to ask all the questions you’ve stored up about Unitarian Universalism in general and UCN in particular. You’ll learn something of the history and theological understandings of Unitarian Universalism from our minister, Rev. Julie Forest. Several church leaders will speak about UCN’s history and what the church has meant to them.

There is NO CHARGE for this course. Child care is provided if requested.
