Alliance Peacemaking is sponsoring an important webinar for all Alliance leaders focusing on High Conflict People” (HCP) on October 28 from 11 am – 3 pm MDT. HCPs are in our churches and can cause enormous damage if not recognized and dealt with in an effective way.
Megan Hunter, the CEO and co-founder of the High Conflict Institute, will be the presenter. She will focus on recognizing an HCP, understanding them, and offering some basic strategies to deal with these individuals while protecting the church.
The training is open to any leader in the Alliance, ordained or lay. The registration code is “Jn316” and the cost is $20.
