Overview

Difficult people. Misunderstandings and miscommunications. Staff turnover. Hot theological or community issues. Satan can use any of this to create major conflict in your church, if not handled appropriately and maturely.

These eight articles from Leadership journal help you know what to do when a fight is brewing and how to preempt congregational, board, or staff conflict. You'll learn common reactions people have in an argument, tips for running productive mediation sessions, and guidelines for restoring peace back to your church.

This Training Pack contains all of the following:
