How Can the I-K Synod Help?
The I-K Synod Conflict Management Committee, established in 1991, is available to address the needs of congregations in conflict.
Members of the committee, both pastors and laypersons, are trained to use a model proven successful in many congregations.
Committee members serve as consultants for churches that request assistance from the synod.
