BVC Peacemakers' purpose is two-fold:

(1) teach Biblical principles of conflict resolution throughout Bear Valley Church and

(2) be available to BVC members and attendees, providing assistance in resolving conflicts in marriage, family, church, and work relationships.

We also help others in the community who request conflict resolution assistance. This assistance can take the form of either conflict coaching (advising one party in the conflict who requests help) or mediation (meeting with both parties in a conflict to facilitate a voluntary resolution).

Help in resolving a conflict can be requested by contacting the Peacemakers ministry at (303) 985-4000 x45 or .
 

As a part of our ongoing commitment to build a "culture of peace" at Bear Valley Church, BVC Peacemakers will be actively supporting a church-wide focus on biblical peacemaking in January 2008. Jim Walters is preaching on peacemaking during January, and a number of Sunday adult classes and small groups are studying peacemaking during January as listed below:
