| Adult Education |
San
Pedro offers a "university" of classes for adult learners.
We understand that some of us have been studying Scripture and the
life of faith all of our lives. Others are new to the Christian
faith. So we continually develop a variety of classes that will
connect with you. Some are very basic; some are more advanced.
At least one will have just what you need to sharpen your skills or
increase your knowledge of Christian faith and life.
Lots
of exciting opportunities for adult learning are starting up soon! We
hope you'll be part of one or more of these Adult Education
experiences this year:
