One of the great tragedies occurring in the church today is conflict. Division not only negatively impacts the church's health, but also its witness to the community. When churches find themselves in the midst of strife,often they are not able to resolve the conflict on their own. In times like these, having someone from the outside to come in and help them work toward resolution and reconciliation is the answer. We use the biblical model and approach developed by Peacemaker Ministries. They approach conflict with three central convictions:
The Centrality of Christ
The Responsibility of the Church
The Comprehensiveness of God's Word
