The word “Pacific” has two meanings. The first has reference to the Pacific Ocean. This geographically defines the location of our founding in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada. The second meaning, and by far the most important, is the making and promoting of peace. We are called to peace (Col 3:15). The Church, therefore, should be a place of peace, rest, and safety.
