“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\u00a0shalom<\/em> – PEACE!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=”email pastor jason” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/peaceumc.com\/staging\/8882\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG-0729-scaled.jpeg” title_text=”IMG-0729″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”Staff” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_team_member name=”Jean Broberg” position=”Administrative Assistant” image_url=”https:\/\/peaceumc.com\/staging\/8882\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Jean-Broberg-HIGH-RES-002-202×300.jpg” admin_label=”Jean” _builder_version=”4.21.2″ header_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”22px” header_line_height=”1.5em” body_line_height=”2em” position_font=”Montserrat|600||on|||||” position_text_align=”left” position_text_color=”gcid-3317f5bd-a605-4adf-9297-ec96e0cba6b0″ text_orientation=”center” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”20px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” box_shadow_style_image=”preset3″ box_shadow_blur_image=”38px” box_shadow_spread_image=”-16px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-3317f5bd-a605-4adf-9297-ec96e0cba6b0%22:%91%22position_text_color%22%93}”]
