Mediation Skills Training Institute
for Church Leaders

Collegiate Presbyterian Church
March 31--April 4, 2008
Ames, IA

Here's a sample of what past participants have said about the institute:

  • "The best and most thorough model for mediation with individuals and congregations that I have experienced in more than three decades of ordained ministry." - Lutheran Bishop
  • "Well worth your investment of self as well as resources." - Episcopal Bishop
  • "One of the very best, most practical learning events of my life!"
    •

The institute includes lectures, discussion, and guided practice in roleplays.  Active and practical in focus, the sessions emphasize hands-on skills training and real-life roleplays based on the kinds of conflicts faced by participants.

Tuition for the institute is $650. Contact LMPC for further information and to receive a registration brochure for the Mediation Skills Training Institute for Church Leaders.  You can also click below to download a registration brochure.

LMPC is also available to present the Mediation Skills Training Institute in your location upon the invitation of a hosting group.  Typically such groups include denominational or judicatory bodies interested in training a large number of people to be available to their churches as mediators and trainers in conflict transformation.

Churches of all denominations have found the value of hosting the Mediation Skills Training Institute.  Click to read testimonies from members of the Presbyterian Church (USA) or the United Methodist Church who have hosted this event.
