This concept really applies to all areas of one’s life. As Christians we long for peaceful relationships in our homes, our workplaces, our communities, and our churches. However, we face nearly constant change and difficult moments. While such challenges are inevitable, we can find ways to manage them so they do not damage relationships and can be turned into opportunities for a positive witness for Jesus Christ. The Straus Institute is pleased to offer a weekend congregational workshop to create Christian conflict resolution competency. This Bible-based and skills-focused workshop offers practical approaches to difficult moments experienced in everyday life.

The workshop is free to attend for congregants and non-congregants, but you must sign up officially by calling the church office, or filling out a registration form. In order the attend the workshop, you MUST commit to all three days. All present at the worskshop must participate in the exercises and simulation negotiations. Meals and snacks will be served.
