After 5 years of research and innovation partnership with local congregations, Pivot NW will be entering a new phase of existence. The Lilly Endowment has charged us to spend the next 4 years spreading the news of what we have learned in our work, while continuing to listen and sharpen the ideas that we hope will make the church more hospitable to 20-somethings now and into the future. Welcome to PACE NW.  

Stay tuned here and eventually at PACENW.org for FAQ concerning the next phase of our journey. More info in 2022!

If you've asked this question at your church, you're not alone. Many churches struggle to attract and retain young adults. Many don't even know where to begin. That's why Pivot NW exists.

Budget for and implement a program for intergenerational relationship building. Include reciprocal mentorship and vulnerability.
