Conflict Transformation Skills for Churches

Conflict is a normal part of life; unfortunately, the church is not exempt. This workshop will give participants the knowledge and skills necessary to manage conflicts within their congregations in a healthier manner. Join us and learn to regard conflict not as a negative force, but as a positive opportunity for reconciliation, spiritual growth, and a renewed awareness of God’s will for your church.

In this workshop, you will learn:

• That conflict need not be bad, but is an opportunity for growth.
• The Biblical basis for conflict transformation.
• Your own style of responding to conflict.
• The communication skills necessary to resolve conflict peacefully.
• Strategies for preventing destructive conflict in the church family.
• A model for working at congregational decision-making in a win-win manner.
