Pax

What if there really was a Creator? What if this Creator truly and deeply loved His creation? What if this creation was people and this Creator was God? What if God originally setup a beautiful world for His people where they would live? What if He gave them everything they would ever need or desire? What if the people decided it wasn’t enough and chose to follow their own path rather than His? What if this path lead to pain, oppression, slavery, disease, war, famine, and broken relationships? What if God watched all of this happen, yet chose in His love to pursue His creation regardless of their rebellion? What if He provided a way for them to be reconciled to Him? What if that way required the ultimate sacrifice? What if Jesus Christ, God Himself, was that sacrifice? What if, as a result of this sacrifice, creation could be restored to their Creator and invited to be His people again?

Now, what if this people really understood the mission before them? What if they recognized their own brokenness and chose to meet others in theirs? What if they didn’t let differences get in the way of introducing people to this Creator that had pursued them? What if they were willing to do whatever it took to make this happen… because God was willing to do that for them? What if this community of people truly loved God, and truly loved people, and truly desired to see beauty come from ashes? What if…

PAX is a community of people who have become very good at screwing up... but who have been met in their mess by Jesus Christ, God himself. Through His strength we desire to love our families, neighborhoods, and cities well.
