Our Story
A journey to relational wholeness

Where we began

A short history of Peace Mentors

It all started when we began seeing great success within our church community; we added a second gathering, hired new staff and began to see growth that was clearly Holy Spirit-breathed in our small, rural town. All the while, something was brewing beneath the surface that called into question my leadership and would ultimately result in over half of our people leaving the church. It was devastating.

In walking with pastors, staff members and leadership teams we have discovered what it takes to address strife head-on, repair broken relationships and build healthy alliances. Working closely with pastors and teams, the journey to health is traveled at a manageable pace, where everyone is encouraged to participate in the process.

Knowing the struggle churches experience, Peace Mentors expanded to help pastors and churches become healthy communities. Communities which know and are fulfilling their God-given destiny. A healthy community is key to a healthy society.

Peace Mentors is dedicated to seeing everyone on the team flourish. When the team is healthy and flourishing, the ministry is primed to spring forward with passion. Healthy teams can focus on what is important to their mission, while leaving behind those things that hinder and derail the ministry.
