God's reign is characterized by shalom, a holistic just peace in which all relationships are restored and made right. So if God's mission is to establish the holistic shalom of God's kingdom, then our Christian vocation and calling is to follow Jesus into the sacred, healing work of peacebuilding. 

Join this 6-week online small group to get an introduction to peace-oriented theology, conflict transformation, and peacebuilding skills. As peacebuilders, we recognize that conflict unveils ruptured relationships, both interpersonally and between groups, so conflict can become an opportunity to work toward deeper connection, justice, and God's shalom. 

This online small group is for anyone curious about how their faith and peacebuilding fit together, who wants to begin learning about how to live as a peacebuilder, or hopes to lead such conversations in their community. The group is intended as a launching pad to help you grasp the scope and beauty of God’s shalom vision as you learn to follow Jesus on his peacebuilding mission, and to provide resources and support for you and your friends on the peacebuilding journey.

We welcome everyone to the group regardless of financial means. However, if you’re able, we encourage you to give a donation to Peace Catalyst International or Peace Catalyst Norwich to help cover the time and effort it takes to put on these events. Your donation will also help us offer more free events in the future and bring peacebuilding tools and trainings to under-resourced communities. Depending on your ability, we suggest a donation of $20, $50, or $75 for this 6-week group. You’ll have the opportunity to donate after you register.
