From the beginning, we have seen our work as deeply spiritual, bringing together the theology, theory and practice of JustPeace. By training key leaders, hosting trainings and workshops and cultivating seminary education in the fields of conflict transformation and restorative justice, we’re fostering a culture of JustPeace – a faith focused way of engaging conflict that leads to justice and reconciliation.

Much of the conflict we face in life is a result of a lack of conversation or poor communication. And, conflicts are often resolved – even transformed – by practicing good conversation.

Resolving lawsuits, complaints, church trials, and other costly disputes through coaching, mediated or facilitated conversations or other methods of alternative dispute resolution.

In many ways, our most important work has been to help clarify and define the theology, theory and practice of JustPeace, of a ministry of reconciliation, and help restore the centrality of this calling to the ministry of the church.

Strategic work with practitioners – connecting, supporting and strengthening those gifted volunteers and professionals in our JustPeace network located within organizations and settings of ministry in various nations.

Our vision is that people engaged in relational conflict, or suffering the aftermath of conflict, will call or visit their local United Methodist church because it has gained the reputation of being a place where peace of mind and heart is restored.
