Our youth represent the future of our world!
Our mission is not to entertain our children,
but to call them out!

To be "called Out" is to follow the harmonious law of the soul's unfoldment. Who meddles with the rosebud? What fingers are deft enough to pry open that marvel of folded beauty? We are wise enough to leave the rosebud alone to follow the glad law of its own unfolding…

At Unity of Reno, we value and encourage our "buds of marvelous possibilities." We remember that they, too, must quicken and unfold through the innate law of their own genius.

Our loving youth staff is committed to creating a safe and flexible structure we can depend on, and yet set aside when necessary. Spiritual growth takes place through sharing, experiencing, teaching and learning in a trusting, loving , empowering environment.

Our children, newborns through Uni-Tweens, are accepted unconditionally at Unity of Reno, and every child is valued as a unique expression of God.

In Love and Service,

Director, Children's Church, Y.O.U.

The Unity movement bases all study for children on the method of the Living Curriculum. This practice was set forth by Unity’s co-founder, Myrtle Fillmore.

Through this practice, we see education as a process, and we support the unfolding of the child’s spiritual nature, as well as encouraging them to model spiritual principles in their every day lives.

The following lesson plans in each of the age groups are all based on Unity Principles. To reinforce these ideas, the children pray, meditate, use affirmations, and explore Bible passages.

Yes! Even the tiniest tot can do these things!!!

Uni-tots Ages 0 – 5

These wee ones come in with their own special wisdom and are anxious to grow into the world around them. Through Bible and secular stories, creative expression, videos and movement, the intent of this curriculum is:

• To draw forth the spiritual truth that already resides within each child..
• To offer children experiences of who “I AM” as a spiritual being, we “we are” as family and community, and the nature of God.
• To uphold, demonstrate and express that all of Life is sacred and that, indeed, we are the co-creators of this wonderful world!
  
  

Uni-Tweens 10- 13

Our Uni-Tweens are a group of young people seeking to know themselves and understand the universe and their place in it.

Curriculum: Teens on the Quest and 12 Powers

Lessons are tailored to the needs of this age group with material derived from Richard and Mary Alice Jafolla’s book, The Quest, A Journey of Spiritual Rediscovery. Sunday mornings will find these young people seriously focusing on group discussions and projects to foster spiritual growth in their daily walk.

In delving more deeply into the lives of teens, there are also lessons revolving around Jane Simmon’s book, The I of the Storm for Teens, Finding Peace in the Midst of Conflict.
