Crossing Paths
A “Neighboring Faiths” Curriculum from Soul Matters

A Soul Matters twist on the popular youth curriculum.  We offer Crossing Paths in formats for theme-based congregations as well as non-theme-based ones.
  • Our theme-based version aligns each visit and faith tradition with our monthly themes.  
  • Our non-themed version is one that any of our UU churches can use to enrich our youth ministry programs and is not based on themes.

Social Media Toolbox

Each month we create inspirational social media memes on the monthly themes for our Soul Matters Facebook page. We make those memes available without our logo so you can personalize them with your congregational logo. It's a great tool to enhance your social media strategy.  See samples of our memes here.
Three different packages are available, including an option for us to add your congregation's logo for you.

Starting Point
A newcomers curriculum shaped by the wisdom and power of small group ministry   

Starting Point is a new kind of newcomer class that...​
  • integrates your welcoming and small group ministries
  • ensures a higher participation rate in your small group program, thereby increasing newcomer retention
  • provides newcomers with an experience of UUism not just information about it.
  • brings new life to UU theology & history by framing it in terms of the core small group value of healing spiritual disconnection
  • uses experiential learning to make your unique church mission come alive

Most "New to UU" classes orient newcomers toward membership and focus on downloading information. Starting Point takes a different tack. It orients newcomers toward small group participation and offers an experience of UUism, not just information about it. We know that newcomers who find a home in a small group stay and experience deeper transformation. Starting Point is the first step on that path home.

Pilot Congregations Needed!
2018-19 will be our pilot year for this curriculum. We are limiting pilot participation to 20 congregations who will journey with us, trying out this new curriculum and helping us refine it along the way. Pilot congregations will receive the curriculum, orientation webinar and coaching for a discounted price, paying $50 rather than the full $75. They also will receive the final updated curriculum for free.   

Interested?
Email Susan, our Director of Membership, if you are interested in being a pilot subscriber.
