Conflict Management Support Team

Workshops

      Would you like to learn how we can live together in God's spirit of reconciliation even when we are in conflict? Would you like to learn more about yourself, about conflict, and about our call as disciples to live out and witness to God's reconciling love?

      The Conflict Management Support Team offers a one- or two-day "Conflict Transformation Skills Workshop" that will provide you with a greater self-awareness as to how you handle conflict, and help you to become better at handling conflict in the church. The training, modeled after similar workshops offered by the Lombard Peace Center, includes information on dynamics of conflict, personal conflict styles, communications skills, and responding to conflict in the church. The training will help promote your personal growth as a disciple of Christ by encouraging thoughtful integration of Christian faith with practical skills for managing conflict. 

      These principles will influence your life beyond the church as well. You will be able to take the knowledge you gain into your family and your work. You may even find yourself to be more confident in managing conflict throughout your life.

      To host a workshop in your congregation, contact Susan Janzen.
