Abstract

The purpose of the project in ministry was to equip a select group of church leaders to resolve conflict in First Baptist Church of Homer, Louisiana. In an eight-week study, participants explored materials in the following areas: (1) conflict types and conflict recognition, (2) biblical conflict resolution, (3) understanding one's conflict management style, (4) forgiveness and reconciliation, (5) communication: listening and assertion skills, (6) conflict coaching, (7) mediation, and (8) a mediation case study. The curriculum included information gathered through research as well as practical learning experiences. Practical experiences included a conflict inventory to help participants to understand better their preferred style of conflict management; role play to help participants practice listening and assertion skills and to recognize signs and levels of conflict; and case studies to provide learners with practical experience in utilizing conflict management concepts. The course was designed to equip church leaders to help others resolve personal conflicts.
