Adult Education Opportunities

St. Peter's strives to provide a variety of opportunities for adults to come together to connect, question, and grow as they begin or continue their own spiritual journey.  Topics may include scripture explorations, current events, and other issues relevant to adults' everyday life.  Sessions may be lead by clergy or laypeople, and often include guest speakers and outside experts.  

No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome and encouraged to attend these varied educational sessions.
