Youth
Main Line Unitarian Church currently has an opening for the Director of Religious Education position.
“I found a group of people that I truly love in youth group.”
MLUC’s youth programs for grades 7 through 12 are designed to deepen participants’ faith in a safe and stimulating environment. The Youth Program Director, Youth Adult Committee, adult advisors, and youth themselves work together to develop curricula and projects based on outreach, acceptance, and empowerment.
Youth programs comply with the church’s Safety Policy. All participants must register; parents and youth must agree to, and sign, the Youth Policy.
MLUC Youth programming is designed around the Six Pillars of Youth Development:
- Community Building
- Leadership
- Learning
- Youth Adult Relations
- Social Action
- Worship

Special Activities
In addition to Sunday morning and evening programming, youth and advisors attend a fall weekend retreat at Camp Dark Waters in Medford, NJ. The retreat offers the opportunity to begin the church year with a sense of community and to develop cooperative group skills through trust and confidence-building activities, games, and worship.
Every three years youth in grades 9 through 12 head to Boston for a full-immersion experience in Unitarian Universalism. Trip highlights include tours of the Unitarian Universalist Association and Unitarian Universalist Service Committee headquarters, and other local sites.
What We’re Hearing
“The annual youth retreat at Camp Dark Waters was my first experience of youth group and was where I met some of my closest friends. It's one of my best memories.”
“Some of my very best memories growing up UU come from Youth Group, 55 years ago! Three kids of my own would say the same. I have loved seeing our youth grow in so many creative, beautiful ways.”
