Spiritual Living
For All Ages
Teaching that we are all born as original blessings and a part of the divine plan to bring love and peace into this world.
Youth & Families
Our Youth & Families program creates an affirming, creative environment where we come together to pray, play and experience the divine. SLC offers Nursery (5 yrs and under) care on Sundays at 9 and 11 a.m. We offer Youth Education for children ages 6 to 12 years old in the Youth Education room in the Office Building across from the Sanctuary and our pre-teens and teenagers (13-18 years) meet in the Y.O.U. room across from the Sanctuary at 11 a.m. for some awesome discussions and activities.
Our Y.O.U. (Youth of Unity) Teen Program is a youth-led program in the teen room with an adult sponsor.

Story Time With Joella!
Joella Aragon is one of our Youth Ed Nursery volunteers. She is wonderful with our youngest ones, and she has a gift for story telling. She not only reads to our SLC young ones, but she also reads in her driveway to children in her neighborhood. She spreads her gift far and wide!
In this video, Joella reads Tacky the Penguin. It is a story about a Penguin who is a bit different from all the other penguins, and comes to be accepted for exactly who he is. It's a hoot! We hope that your child, or the child in you will enjoy it!
While all the other animals in the jungle are ready and eagerly awaiting Christmas, Hanukkah, and/or Kwanzaa, Jim can't stop feeling that this time of year stinks. But with his good friend Norman's help, Jim discovers that focusing on the good things around him instead of his own problems, is a reason to celebrate.
Y.O.U. (Youth of Unity)
Teen Group
A youth-led, high-school-aged group that promotes spiritual awareness in a safe space. Everyone is welcome.
Deep friendships and connections are made between teenagers in a nonjudgmental and loving environment. Teens learn to see the challenges in their lives through the lenses of truth principles and empowered thinking.
