PATHWAYS ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES
Pathways is the Adult Education ministry of First Presbyterian Church of Wheaton. In scripture we learn that the first Christians were called "people of the way." The "way" is Jesus Christ. He is a "lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path." We look to Scripture to help us understand our relationship to Jesus
and our world. We are called to be a "light unto the world."
Pathways classes are offered on Sunday mornings from 9:55
a.m. - 10:45 a.m. beginning September 14, 2008.
| Our current classes are listed on this page. Some of
our prior 2007-2008 Adult Education classes are available
on recordings in our church library and also on our Adult
Education Podcast plus as separate
sessions in audio and/or video format that can be downloaded
from our church website. See our page on prior
classes online for more information and to download classes. |
