Conflict Coaches Workshop Rescheduled
COVID-19 forced the cancellation of our initially scheduled Conflict Coaches Training event last March. Now, it may actually give opportunity for more LCMC pastors and leaders to be able to attend an online training through Zoom!
The LCMC Conflict Coaches Training event has been rescheduled for those who are interested in assisting congregations with conflict resolution.
The training will be offered twice (individuals may choose to attend either of the events):
- Wednesday and Thursday, August 19 - 20, 2020 (10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. CDT)
- Monday and Tuesday, August 31 - September 1, 2020 (10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. CDT)
The online version will have training, an opportunity to discuss case studies, and plans for utilizing what we learn in congregational settings.
The hope is to develop LCMC conflict coaches throughout the country who can be an initial contact for LCMC congregations who are experiencing conflict.
Coaches will receive basic training for diagnosing congregational conflict and assisting congregations who need limited help in working through conflicted situations.
There will be NO COST associated with this event!
We will host it through Zoom (participants will need to download zoom to their computer to attend).
Click here for an event brochure with the basic information. Feel free to share it with someone whom you feel may serve well in this capacity (generally meaning someone with a non-anxious presence and some basic knowledge in conflict resolution or psychological systems).
To register, please reply to perry@lcmc.net with the basic registration information included in the brochure.
We highly recommend participants having attended an LCMC Conflict Resolution workshop with Pastor Perry Fruhling, Coordinator for Pastoral Ministry for LCMC, or other conflict resolution and peace-making workshops. If not, a participant may download a previously recorded workshop video to view before the event.
Attending does not obligate or guarantee a person in any way to serve as a conflict coach. But, as there is mutual agreement about being equipped and called for this purpose, perhaps God can use us to bring restoration, health, and wholeness to a neighboring congregation.

Perry Fruhling is a family man, a Cubs fan, rarely tan (burns easily), and recently began (running out of rhymes here!) his work with LCMC as Coordinator for Pastoral Ministry. He loves meeting people and is enjoying getting to know LCMC pastors, leaders, and congregation members in the call process and working with seminarians and pastors in the certification process. He also hopes to partner with churches and leaders around conflict resolution. He enjoys humor and the old cartoon series Scooby Doo where something has gone awry in the world and it’s up to “those meddling kids” to solve the mystery. Although Perry loves a bumper sticker he once saw, “What Would Scooby Doo?”, Perry believes it’s all about what we as God’s people do together through the Holy Spirit’s power to strengthen our churches for witness in the kingdom of Christ. Jinkies, I guess we’re off to solve another mystery. Like, wow!
