The Pace Center

The Pace Center is an inclusive, multicultural VCU community. As a ministry of the United Methodist Church, we believe all are created to live in deep relationship with one another, not in isolation. We also believe every individual has been created with infinite value and an important role to play in their community. Grounded in these values, Pace provides opportunities for students of all faiths and backgrounds to help build meaningful community by discovering their purpose, others’ purpose, and by establishing a life rhythm that enables that purpose to thrive. As students lead the development of these community building opportunities, they gain experience in servant leadership. 

Pace has experienced rapid growth within the past 12 months. This growth has necessitated a new full time staff position. Working alongside Pace’s director and associate director, this new staff position will uplift students’ gifts through the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) methodology.
