About
Young People’s Religious Exploration Programs (YPRE)
“All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.”
Our Mission:
“The mission of our Religious Exploration Program is to support the growth and evolution of our children into religious, spiritual beings.”
All Are Welcome Here
In the spirit of Unitarian principles, we wish to provide a welcoming environment to every child and youth in our Religious Exploration Program, and to their families as well. We openly affirm both traditional and non-traditional family structures in all of their variety. We strive to incorporate curriculum resources which help our children and youth value diversity and which strengthen them to stand against prejudice in all its forms. Community building and social action are an integral part of programs at every age.
Unitarians believe…
- that each and every person is important;
- that all people should be treated fairly and kindly;
- that we should accept one another and keep on learning together;
- that each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life;
- that everyone should have a vote about things that concern them;
- in working for a peaceful, fair and free world;
- in caring for our planet earth, the home we share with all living things.
- Canadian Unitarian Council Principles (Children’s version)
We welcome your inquiries.
