Jason Steffenhagen
“Be transformed by changing the way you think” (Romans 12.2). It’s my belief that God is always renewing, reconciling, recreating, restoring, and resurrecting all things. Whether through Biblical exploration, spiritual formation, or justice-infused reconciliation – Peace is a place to simultaneously be known and loved, while challenged to grow and serve. Let’s join God in the good news and the good work of being people of shalom – PEACE!
Jean Broberg
Administrative Assistant
Welcome to Peace!
I’m proud to help support our varied ministry programs, the many groups which use our building, and the participants and staff of our faith community. If you have a question, I’ll help you find an answer.
