God's reign is characterized by shalom, a holistic just peace in which all relationships are restored and made right. So if God's mission is to establish the holistic shalom of God's kingdom, then our Christian vocation and calling is to follow Jesus into the sacred, healing work of peacebuilding.
Join this 6-week online small group to introduce peace-oriented theology, conflict transformation, and peacebuilding skills. As peacebuilders, we recognize that conflict unveils ruptured relationships, both interpersonally and between groups, so conflict can become an opportunity to work toward deeper connection, justice, and God's shalom.
This “Introduction to Christian Peacebuilding” small group is perfect for everyday Christians and Christian leaders who are curious about how their faith and peacebuilding fit together, want to begin learning about how to live as peacebuilders, or hope to lead such conversations in their community. This small group is intended as a launching pad to help you personally begin following Jesus as a peacebuilder and to provide resources and support for you to invite your friends along on the journey.
