10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
1509 East Court St.
Flint, MI 48503
Conflict is unavoidable in any organization, but it doesn't have to create irreparable rifts. Join us as Thomas K. Chu leads a workshop on conflict transformation. Learn proactive practices to avoid pitfalls, how to embody active and passive withdrawals, and learn basic conflict knowledge that will enable you with the resources to identify and cope with conflicts as they arise. With the right environment, healthy conflict will enable the growth and transformation that so many of our churches are seeking.
