Current Adult Programming
The Adult Religious Education & Spiritual Development Team (ARESD) offers courses and events that reflect our Vision, Mission, and Ends. We are committed to providing a range of programming that addresses intersectional justice themes, Unitarian Universalist identity, and spirituality in our daily lives.
Below you will find descriptions of courses currently being offered within our Adult Religious Education and Spiritual Development program (ARESD). Except for the cost of class materials, these courses are offered without charge to both members and non-members. Non-members are invited to participate on a space-available basis. Members and non-members seeking additional information can contact Director of Lifespan Religious Education, Paula Gribble at aresd@uuccharlotte.org or through our contact form.
We encourage you to refer to our weekly newsletter, Currents, for more opportunities for involvement and exploration offered by the Adult Religious Education & Spiritual Development Team.
