Shalom is what we long for in our own lives and in the lives of others in our community. It is a multifaceted word meaning completeness, safety, soundness, welfare, health, prosperity, peace, quiet, tranquility, contentment, and friendship. We believe God’s promise in Jeremiah 29:7 that as we seek the shalom of our community we will find it for ourselves “for in its shalom you will find your shalom.”
