Our Religious Education (RE) program is offered for school aged children and youth in grades K-12. Classes run Sept. 10, 2023- May 19, 2024. We also have nursery care available for ages 6 months and up.

Kids are grouped according to grade level:

  • K-2

All classes are taught by volunteers from the congregation. Volunteers are screened for safety. In addition, our Safe Congregation policy mandates two volunteers be present in every classroom. The program is overseen by our Director of Religious Education for Children and Youth (DRE).
