When a church experiences conflict, the results can be terribly painful: couples divorce, families and friends are divided, and in extreme cases, a church may split, and our witness for Christ is lost.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Many churches have embraced a 'Culture of Peace,' where members truly live out the gospel in their relationships and where the blessings of peace follow: strengthened marriages and families, healthier churches, and a thriving, gospel-centered ministry. Building a Culture of Peace doesn't happen overnight, though. It's a journey, and Peacemaker Ministries is here to accompany your church every step of the way.
So how does your church begin this journey toward a Culture of Peace? The Peacemaking Church Resource Set was created for exactly that purpose. This resource utlizes three primary means of building biblical peacemaking into the very fiber of your church:
The Peacemaking ChurchResource Set is designed to change the way your people think about conflict and help your church on its journey toward a Culture of Peace.
The Peacemaking Church Resource Set contains three key components: the Pastor's Box, the Small Group Box, and the Peacemaking Team Box. Combine the sermons and small groups in an eight-week teaching season for your church.
“Our church has grown significantly in the last few years, but more importantly, God has been growing his people spiritually through our emphasis on biblical peacemaking. I’ve seen marriages reconciled that would have otherwise ended in separation or divorce. I have also seen business disputes that could have easily ended up in court, but instead, have been resolved in the local church. Biblical peacemaking is now a key part of our discipleship process—we want to see peacemaking implanted into the very DNA of our church.”
