San Pedro Presbyterian Church

Welcome!

God continues to bless our congregation with so many people. It is exciting to see those whom God has brought into our midst. And, we are so thankful that He has led you to us. We pray that you will be enriched by your experience here.

God has given to each of us many gifts and talents, and we invite you to share yours with us. In so doing, you will help build up the Body of Christ in this place.

San Pedro Church is filled with opportunities to enrich and be enriched. The most important thing we do as God's people is to come together to worship Him. We are committed to providing a setting where we all can offer God our best praise every week.

In missions we seek a wider vision of God's world. Here we put our faith into practice as we minister to brothers and sister in need outside of San Antonio. In service, we get more personally involved in our own community by our work with homeless shelters, food and clothing banks, Habitat for Humanity, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, and various other programs.

We have a vital Christian education program for everyone-from young children through senior adults. In addition to Sunday morning classes, we have educational opportunities at many other times: Wednesday Brown Bag Bible Study, Men's Prayer Breakfast, and the many Girlfriends activities. We also have fall and winter Wednesday night programs with dinner provided. This is a time not only for learning, but also for connecting with friends.

We also have social activities to help you get to know the other people who make up our church family. There are several fellowship groups for all ages (CANO, Baby Boomers, VIPs), and there are various church-wide fellowship events throughout the year.

Here at San Pedro we seek to care for you. Our members and pastors are dedicated to supporting you in times of crises. We are committed to offering spiritual nourishment so that all of us may grow together in our faith in Jesus Christ. We invite you to be a part of this exciting adventure! We really are a better and stronger church whenever anyone commits to being involved in this life with us. We need you!

God bless you always!

San Pedro is part of the Presbyterian Church ( ) We Presbyterians trace our history to the 16th century and the Protestant Reformation. Our heritage, and much of what we believe, began with the French lawyer, John Calvin (1509-1564), whose writings crystallized much of the Reformed thinking that came before him.

At the core of our Presbyterian beliefs are the sovereignty of God, the authority of scripture, justification by grace through faith, and the priesthood of all believers. We believe God is the supreme authority throughout the universe. Our knowledge of God and God's purpose for humanity comes from the Bible, particularly what is revealed in the New Testament through the life of Jesus Christ. Our salvation (justification) through Jesus is God's generous gift to us and not the result of our own accomplishments. The Presbyterian Church and our congregation are governed at all levels by a combination of clergy and laity, men and women alike.

Witnessing to the good news of Jesus Christ throughout the world, we Presbyterians engage in mission activities, seek to alleviate hunger, foster self-development, respond to disasters, support mission works, preach the gospel, heal the sick, and educate new generations for the future.
