Religious Exploration
At Foxborough Universalist Church, we offer Religious Education classes for children during our Sunday morning worship services. Our program has open enrollment and children are welcome to participate in our classes as visitors at any point during the year. If you are visiting for the first time, we invite you to send us an email or give us a call. If your schedule allows, arrive early so that we can introduce ourselves to you and place your child with the appropriate age group.
Our Religious Education (RE) classes are organized and led by church members. The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has provided many of the materials used to create our curricula. We also supplement our classes with a series of activities, service projects, and intergenerational services. We strive for a broad understanding of our own and other faiths from around the world and focus on building a respectful, compassionate, spiritual community. Our curriculum varies from year to year depending on the age groups enrolled. Our program currently includes children from pre-school age through middle school.

Here are the words that are spoken when they light the chalice during Religious Exploration:
"We light this chalice to celebrate Unitarian Universalism.
This is the church of the open mind.
This is the church of the loving heart.
This is the church of the helping hands.
Together we care for our earth and work for friendship and peace in our world.”
