Nathan Pierce of Family Protection Ministries:
As part of our mission to serve Orthodox families, Saint Kosmas Orthodox Education looks for speakers to address the current legal and legislative arena of homeschooling. This year we have invited a special guest speaker to the 2020 Saint Kosmas Conference — Nathan Pierce, Director of Operations and Legislative Liaison for Family Protection Ministries of California. We are greatly indebted to those who vigilantly work to keep homeschooling legal so that we have the freedom to educate our children at home without government interference. We are very pleased to welcome Nathan Pierce to the 2020 Saint Kosmas Conference!
