Scripture calls for the resolution of conflict both as our calling (Matthew 5:9) and our responsibility (1 Corinthians 6) and for our mutual upbuilding (Romans 14:19).
The Institute for Christian Conciliation provides full education and training in biblical peacemaking as well as a candidacy program to become a Certified Christian Conciliator™ skilled in assisting others as a conflict coach or a biblical mediator to resolve legal and relational conflict.
To learn more about the candidacy program, explore the program here. As a Certified Christian Conciliator™, you will be in a leadership position to serve the Lord by serving others which will strengthen the church and multiply opportunities for the Gospel.
Just as there is a difference between applying a band-aid and performing surgery, peacemaking is a skill that is studied, practiced, and specialized. The Institute for Christian Conciliation has been providing education, training, and certification for over 25 years. As a result, the number of Christians who are conflict coaches, biblical mediators, and Christian arbritrators are increasing daily.
You can join the hundreds who have been certified over decades, who now encourage conflict resolution and reconciliation, outside of the secular arena, as we lean into the promises of God.
To get started, we suggest that you take time to read The Peacemaker by Ken Sande and pray about what the Lord might have you do within your ECO church.
The ICC looks forward to serving all ECO churches as together we pursue the peace of Christ in ministry and mission. (Colossians 3:15)
