Christian Conciliation is a process for helping people resolve personal conflicts in a God-honoring way.
Our Conciliation Process blends together the Principles of Christian Conciliation with proven methods of professional counseling. The goal of conciliation is to reconcile and restore hurting broken relationships, through repentance, confession and forgiveness. A distinctive of Christian conciliation is an emphasis on “heart issues” that are at the root of conflict (James 4:1). Our counseling training and experience provides us with a depth of knowledge and insight that helps identify systems of relating and destructive patterns that contribute to relational conflict. Experience has proven that people are best served when these two elements are blended together in a redemptive manner.

We also assist in developing a plan the serves to restore trust, respect and intimacy. The plan may include mentor support, follow-up conciliation time, special educational events, individual and/or marriage counseling.
