Conflict in the Church Do you wonder what to do when conflict explodes in your congregation? Do you find that the actions you take to help resolve conflict actually makes it worse? Would you like tangible actions that you can take to help utilize conflict to build trust   and move your church forward? Do you wonder how to deal with "that" person and what might be driving him/her?   This course is to help provide church leaders tangible hands with which to approach conflict as well as an overall perspective on the things that can be at work "driving" the conflict.   Term: This course is divided into 2 x 7 week online sections (total of 14 sessions).           Each of the 14 sessions is an hour in length.           Section One: These 7 sessions look into the factors that impact conflict                               (personally and congregationally), how we individually respond to                               conflict, how we can respond effectively, enhancing dialogue among                               those in conflict, dealing with level one conflicts and more.           Section Two: These 7 sessions look into higher intensity levels of conflict and                               what responses are helpful, methods that can be used in adversarial                               relationships, exit interviews for staff and members, membership                               covenants and more.   Cost: The fee is $70 for each section this course ($140 total for those who have had the          Foundation Course Conflict module). The fee is $80 for the first section & $70 for          the section (total of $150 if you have not taken the Foundations Course Conflict         Module). You will need to watch the online recording of the Foundations Session         (approximately 1 hour) in order to have the basics we build on in this series.          This recording is available from an high speed internet connection with the link we         will provide.   Presentation: The course will be presented online through the GoToTraining platform         which allows audio and visual presentation/interaction. GoToTraining is a free         download for participants. There will be discussion as well as lecture in the course.          If a participant must miss a session then a recording of the material will be available         online to review.   Instructor: Rev.
