Youth & Family Ministry
A warm, welcoming place for children and teens ages 0-17 to grow in spirit, community, and character, right alongside the rest of the Unity of Fairfax family.
We believe every child is born a whole and perfect expression of God. Our job is simply to help them discover that for themselves.
Sunday Programs
Main sanctuary
Parents of children of any age are always welcome to keep their little ones with them in the sanctuary during service.
Nursery, ages 0 to 4
Staffed each week by paid caregivers, right next to the sanctuary so you can check in anytime through the windows. A livestream of the service plays on the TV, and pickup runs a bit later so you can enjoy fellowship time first.
Elementary, ages 4/5 to 12
Background-checked volunteer instructors lead kids through our living curriculum, then join the end of service in the sanctuary to share what they learned and close with prayer and song.
Teens, ages 13 to 17
A supervised space for teens to read the daily word, sit with a short meditation, and hang out, whether that's coloring, guitar, piano, or just relaxing with friends.
What your child will experience
A living curriculum
Lessons grow out of kids' real life experiences, not just a book, using familiar stories as a window into Unity principles.
Hands-on learning
Art, music, drama, and movement help children process each lesson in a way that sticks.
Simple spiritual tools
Prayer, meditation, and affirmations children can carry with them well beyond Sunday.
A true community
Loving adult role models and real friendships, in a space where kids are known and belong.
