Hey!
I'm janis
Why PACE?
It was to complete my degree… “finish don’t be a quitter,” but I got so much more when I got here. I got practical skills for ministry…I deeply feel equipped to go into any sort of church, para-ministry setting and get involved.
This was a good fit because of the connectedness.
I love that the staff are not just high-level high-academic professors. Some are in the business world, some are pastors;…they are not just from one field of life. They bring a lot to the table.
