When this happens, the KBC is equipped to provide training, conflict coaching, mediation, consulting, and conflict resolution.
We offer consultation to congregations and church staff members when a conflict needs third-party assistance. It is an excellent way for church staff and congregations to grow together instead of being torn apart.
To set up a consultation, contact us at transition@kybaptist.org or call (502) 489-3382 or (866) 489-3382 (toll free in Kentucky).

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (NKJV)
