General RE Information
Welcome to our programs of religious education and exploration. We support each child, youth, and adult in their journey to explore religious ideas and ethical values, fulfill a commitment to social justice, build healthy relationships, and celebrate the joys of life. Love is the foundation of our program, our congregation, and our faith.
We invite you to join us!
