What is Religious Education at Sugarloaf?

Simply put we teach our children and ourselves with the help of our small staff and many volunteers and using a wide, diverse and comprehensive course curriculum the Unitarian Universalist Principles Written for Children.

We Believe :

• Each person is important
• Be kind and fair in all you do
• We are free to learn together
• We search for what is true for ourselves
• Every person deserves to have a say and a vote
• Build a fair and peaceful world
• We care for all living things in our universe

The Sugarloaf Congregation of Unitarian Universalist and our Religious Education Committee are committed to providing religious education that is not based on dogma or creed. We give full respect for, examination of and inquiry into the Interdependent Web of All Existence of Which We Are a Part. We study all religions to gain a better understanding of life and the world around us.

We also believe that UU Religious Education should take place in or near Germantown  With a population of 86,395 as of the 2010 United States Census, Germantown Maryland is the third most populous place in Maryland, after the city of Baltimore, and the census-designated place of Columbia, Maryland -- The THIRD!!

It's actually larger, some may say huge,  if you take into account the surrounding communities of Upper Montgomery County: Gaithersburg, Poolesville, Clarksburg, Boyds, Darenstown, Damascus, Montgomery Village to name a few.

We also believe that more than a few of the 86,395 plus people who live and learn in our area share our simple values and will join us in our Religious Education quest.
