ABOUT US

Nobody likes to struggle in life. The emotional trauma of wrestling with a mental health issue, a troubled marriage, or a troubled child is a drain. These problems can spill over beyond the home. And the result is often a mental, spiritual, and physical disaster.

When Dan Jurek started Pax Renewal Center almost two decades ago, he understood that counseling services were just as vital to a person’s health as exercise and nutrition. That’s why he assembled a team of specialists, to provide a wide range of counseling services in Lafayette, not just for individuals, but the entire family. They use specialized conversations and innovative therapies to focus on what you want to achieve. Their guidance helps you stay with a plan to promote healing and bring the freedom you deserve.

Mission

To help individuals and families establish and find peace through life’s many challenges, through a faith-based approach that focuses on the journey, not just the diagnosis.

Vision

Pax Renewal Center is the only faith-based team of seasoned counselors that focuses on the journey of the individual and family while serving as a guide to building a lifelong plan of peace and continued growth.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSIVITY

Diversity is the beautiful reality of life reflected in the broadest spectrum of individual expressions used to create a sense of identity to live in our world. Inclusion is intentionally acknowledging the reality of that diversity, holding the different identities and experiences of others, and respectfully encouraging what each brings to the organization.

We acknowledge that systemic injustice has inherent complexities and tensions related to diversity, contributing to disparities in power, control, influence, status, privilege, and opportunities among individuals and groups. As Christians, we are constantly called to examine our own hearts and consciences for how we might contribute to or break down unjust divisions, intolerance, and discrimination. The failure to act to end systemic injustice hurts those who are victimized and denies all of us the opportunity to benefit from the gifts of diversity.

As a result, we believe that dialogue and encounter with others with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and opinions can help to create an environment of excellence that promotes equity for all. A core value at PAX Renewal Center is to recognize the evil of discrimination as it manifests itself in our individual thoughts, our work environment, and also in the workings of our society itself.
