Connected to a Larger Mission

Pax House is part of a broader ecosystem that includes Abendmusik, PeaceBridge Institute, and Haven apartments at Menno Hall. Students are invited into opportunities for learning, dialogue, and engagement beyond the residence itself—connecting local life with global perspectives.

Rooted in Values

Our shared life is shaped by the core commitments of Pax House Society—hospitality, peacemaking, simplicity, and service. These values are not abstract; they guide how we live, make decisions, and support one another.

"Living at Menno were some of the best years of my life. It is where I first experienced authentic Christian community - I felt so seen and known. It’s where I met some of my best friends. I have so many incredible memories of my time there - it was truly so special."
