Conflict Management In Ministry - CLE 2117

Image
UPDATE  for class 2/16/2023  CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN MINISTRY - 3 hours will meet in-person (also   Zoom online ) at First Baptist Church of Wahiawa 6pm - 9pm ===== Hi everyone.  This is Pastor Bong.  In my years of ministry, conflict management has not been one area I look forward to.  However, every time I go through the process of helping others resolve conflicts, lessons, and rewards abound.  Clarified problems, better solutions, and stronger relationships are just some of these benefits.  I know this is going to throw you off, but "conflicts are healthy if they are managed well."  In fact, the absence of problems makes a church mediocre.   Could you imagine a body with no bacteria?  These classes will help you better manage conflict.    Oahu Bible Institute CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN MINISTRY - 3 hours Thursdays, 2/2/2023 and ends on 5/11/2023 6pm - 9pm;  IN-PERSON and ONLINE Try the class for two weeks (2/2 AND ...
