Children & Youth Overview
Director of Lifespan Faith Development, Cassie Lengel
2024-2025 Program Year
Welcome back to another year of Religious Education (RE) here at the Unitarian Congregation of West Chester (UCWC)!
We hope you will remember, no matter what level of involvement your family can engage, that you have a community that is here for you and that you belong here.
What Do We Do in RE?
Our children and youth are invited to join their individual classes to explore a lesson more in depth. We also look forward to social justice projects, holiday parties, fun and games and crafts, oh my!

In a welcoming, accepting, and fun environment, children from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade are invited:
- to discover what it means to be Unitarian Universalist
- to explore where we get inspiration from
- to gain first-hand knowledge of other faiths
- to engage in worship and activities with members of all ages
- to make a difference in the local community and the world through hands-on social action projects
Younger children also enjoy:
- skits and crafts
- occasional “Group RE” days, with special activities in a one-room-schoolhouse environment
Young people have always been an important, cherished part of our congregation and we have provided religious education classes since our founding in 1954.
