Reconciliation Ministry

As people reconciled to God through the gospel of Jesus Christ - Jesus’ life, death, burial, resurrection, and appearance - we intend to respond to conflicts in a just, merciful, and humble way that glorifies God. We believe that by encountering God’s presence through His Holy Spirit, understanding his character, and remembering our identity in Christ Jesus, we will be able to fulfill our calling to live in peace with others as far as it depends on us. Therefore, in response to God’s love and in reliance on His grace, the Saddleback Church Reconciliation Ministry can coach you in and through the process called The Path of a Peacemaker.

Conflict Coaching is when a coach sits down with a participant to help prepare them to reconcile their differences with others. Like an athletic coach, a conflict coach will challenge, inspire, and call out blind spots that the participant does not see.

A conflict coach can also serve as a mediator later in the process if the coach has remained biblically neutral and all parties to the conflict desire to move toward the mediation process.

Mediation is when a mediator walks a group of individuals in conflict through a process of relational reconciliation and restitution. The mediator is a coach and guide to negotiating conflicted situations toward a mutually agreed outcome.

To discuss your case further and get started with the process, please contact us by sending an email to: Resolveconflict@saddleback.com. Please provide a brief description of your conflict.
