PG 240 Peacemaker - Offered Twice - NEW!
Schedule:  6 weeks, offered twice:  Mar. 3 - Apr. 7 or Apr. 14 - May 19

Course Description:  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 this Peacemaker DVD series with Ken Sande will start giving you the tools that are necessary for this journey.This DVD study, featuring Ken Sande, teaches the biblical principles of handling conflicts in relationships.
