Kids’ Principles

Explore the Kids' Principles at First Unitarian Universalist Church of Richmond. Our children's programs use accessible language to teach the core values of Unitarian Universalism, fostering fairness, acceptance, and a search for truth.

Guiding Young Hearts with Our Shared Principles

At First Unitarian Universalist RVA, we believe in helping our youngest members understand and embrace the core values of our faith. The Kids' Principles distill our seven Unitarian Universalist Principles into accessible language that resonates with children. Through our Tapestry of Faith programs, we teach that every person is important, fairness and kindness are essential, and caring for our shared planet is a collective responsibility. By creating a respectful and engaging environment, we nurture a lifelong commitment to learning, equity, and working toward a peaceful, free world.

Unitarian Universalists have many ways of articulating our seven Principles in simpler language. Here’s the way our Tapestry of Faith children’s programs describe them:

  1. We believe that each and every person is important.
  2. We believe that all people should be treated fairly and kindly.
  3. We believe that we should accept one another and keep on learning together.
  4. We believe that each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life.
  5. We believe that all persons should have a vote about the things that concern them.
  6. We believe in working for a peaceful, fair, and free world.
  7. We believe in caring for our planet Earth, the home we share with all living things.
