Teenage UUCPAers’ 8th- or 9th-grade year is one of Coming of Age, a months-long program in which they learn more about Unitarian Universalism and articulate their own beliefs. During that time, they have met with mentors in the congregation, discussed big questions with each other and Rev. Cat, and created art and other projects. The culminating service, in which the participants share their statements of personal belief (credo statements) with the congregation, is a high point for the congregation as well as a rite of passage for the teens.
