Christian Conciliation Services
Conciliation services provide life-changing help to individuals, couples, families, churches, organizations and communities experiencing conflict. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the foundation for conciliation services.Conciliation services can help promote transformation in the face of painful and destructive conflict.
Types of Services
There are several types of conciliation services. Some are provided on an hourly basis, and some are provided on an intensive basis over the course of several days.
Coaching helps one party in conflict take the necessary steps to resolve conflict personally and privately. When personal and private steps have failed, two or more parties in conflict might request mediation to resolve their dispute. In those cases, case management ensures that all logistical issues are handled in a timely and effective manner. The case coordinates the pre-mediation preparation sessions for all parties and non-parties.
Coaching
Coaching is an hourly service, usually offered by a single conciliator, to an individual in conflict.There are three types of coaching services. Stand-alone coaching is provided to individuals desiring to learn how to resolve conflict with others who will likely never enter a mediation process. Pre-mediation coaching is provided to individuals preparing to enter into a mediation process with others. Post-mediation coaching is provided to individuals who have gone through a mediation process who benefit from ongoing coaching and support.
Coaching involves teaching biblical principles related to peacemaking. Self-reflection and examination are key aspects of repentance, and repentance is a necessary ingredient that leads to confession of sin or failure. Regardless of the response from the other party, learning to forgive is made possible through applying the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Finally, coaching equips conflicted individuals with the important skill of giving a loving confrontation Coaching is provided through face-to-face meetings, telephone, or video-conferencing.
Mediation
Mediation is either an hourly or full-day service offered to two or more people in conflict.Mediation services are custom-tailored to facilitate the most effective resolution of both personal and material issues. Personal issues involve relational failures, while material issues involve conflicts related to tangible resources such as time or money.
Mediation is usually offered by two or more conciliators.
Once a careful assessment is made of the conflict situation, a detailed Fees and Expenses Estimate is provided that itemizes the expected fees and expenses likely to be incurred.

Caring well for you as you struggle with conflict is a high priority. Yet, I ask you to please allow for a 48-hour response time.
