Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God.

Peace Seminar Series
Biblical reconciliation is a collection of thoughts, habits and practices embodied in a way of life. Practicing reconciliation, therefore, requires a specific way of thinking, feeling and acting that a community must learn and nurture over time. For many, this also means unlearning negative habits of responding to conflict.
Since 1993, Metanoia Ministries has developed a uniquely effective approach to diagnose and redeem church dysfunction by uncovering and addressing the personal, spiritual and theological issues underlying conflict. Now, these lessons may be learned and applied in your church through the Metanoia Peace Seminar Series.
The Metanoia Peace Seminar Series is a comprehensive, four-part seminar series designed exclusively by Metanoia Ministries to help churches make reconciliation a way of life. Each seminar builds upon the one previous to offer more in-depth teaching, application and insight into the principles and practices of redemptive community.
Your church may choose one seminar or all four. Each seminar provides teaching, dialog and small group learning in one, full day seminar. For more information about how your church can sponsor a Meta•noia Peace Seminar in your area, please make your request by completing the inquiry form here.
