About Us

Celebrate Marriage provides relationship education for couples who are looking to enhance their relationship. Using Scripture as the foundation and the lessons learned from evidence-based research, Celebrate Marriage aims to help couples achieve higher levels of relational satisfaction and learn to more effectively resolve the problems that do occur.
Topics covered include the honeymoon habit, the diamond of communication, disarming traps that sabotage, turning the light on perspective, stepping out of the crazy cycle, the “zone of assumption", what was he/she thinking, and the impact of commitment.

Welcome

In the unfolding of relational interactions among organizational staffs, boards, and faith communities, serious conflict seems to come out of nowhere. It catches us off guard and shifts the focus away from our mission. Instead of focusing on their mission and message, those involved become distracted and become drained emotionally, mentally, and motivationally.

Church Mediators is here to serve. We believe that every person who walks through the doors of a church has the reasonable expectation to find an oasis of peace and stability. We believe that every family has the right to raise their children in an atmosphere of peace in the context of loving relationships.

Our passion is to help faith communities and other non-profit organizations provide the peace and stability that people need in order to thrive. The interventions we offer are design to help prevent, manage and resolve conflict both personally and corporately. The best practice is to be proactive, seeking help needed as soon as is practical. Church.Mediators.org. offers conflict coaching for individuals, specialized training for leadership teams boards and ministry assessment to help faith communities take clear, confident steps toward organizational health and vitality.
