Teaching as Ministry Children's RE Teachers

As part of our commitment to nurture and honor the spiritual growth and identity of our children, youth, and families, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Ventura is currently recruiting RE Teachers.

RE Teachers will:

• work with their team to plan and participate in Sunday morning classroom teaching for the church year (September through about the first week of June);
• work with their team to plan and participate in RE Sunday, a special service the first Sunday in June;
• seek to integrate Unitarian Universalism into the overall life of the children.

We are looking for RE Teachers who:

• represent the current and hoped for diversity of the congregation;
• are willing to work collaboratively with other teachers and the Director of Religious Education;
• feel a passion for, and a commitment to, creating outstanding classes for children;
• demonstrate gifts for teaching and working with children and an openness to growing their gifts, even if they've never formally taught before;
• are grounded in Unitarian Universalism and willing to learn more;
• are willing to commit to the program for one year.

The responsibility of each class will be shared a group of four RE teachers who will regularly communicate via email. Each group will develop a teaching schedule collaboratively. You need not have experience, as you will be supported and mentored by the DRE and others in the RE program.

For more information, contact Julia Tyler, Director of Religious Education, or any member of the RE Committee.
