Conflict within faith-based communities can be particularly challenging, as it often involves deeply held beliefs, strong relationships, and shared commitments to a common mission. When disagreements arise—whether between leadership and congregants, within governing bodies, or among staff and volunteers—addressing them with care and integrity is essential to maintaining trust and unity.

ADR with HGT provides a confidential, impartial space to navigate conflicts in a way that aligns with the values of faith-based communities. Mediation helps identify key concerns, facilitate meaningful dialogue, and create opportunities for reconciliation and mutual understanding. When conflict is handled solely within a church’s existing leadership or governance structures—no matter how well-intentioned—rifts can deepen, trust can erode, and communities may struggle to heal. A structured mediation process offers a respectful, solutions-oriented path forward that invites shared discernment, mutual responsibility, integrity, and restoration.
