PAX

Center for Christian Spiritual Formation

Welcome to PAX!

We are a non-profit seeking to inspire people & churches to experience the transforming love of God, becoming agents of healing & change in their communities & the world.

How Do We Do This?

Our mission is to nurture & train individuals & worshipping communities in sacred listening & soul care, fostering vulnerability, curiosity, & belonging in their relationship with God & one another. Below, you can find the three branches of PAX that offer different types of spaces & trainings depending on who you are & what you are looking for. We also recommend visiting our upcoming program page for a list of which cohorts are currently open for enrollment!
