Our Mission
Hello! My name is Chad Slotta. I created ENGAGE because, while pastors and congregational leaders will encounter interpersonal conflict in the course of their lives and ministries, most receive little or no conflict engagement training prior to assuming their respective ministry roles. Whereas untrained church leaders who avoid conflict or handle it poorly are likely to encounter and endure the negative consequences of destructive conflict, those who develop relative mastery of biblical conflict engagement skills effectively leverage the positive potential of constructive conflict and advance God’s Kingdom.
Dr. Chad Slotta - ENGAGE Creator and Primary Facilitator
All too often, pastors and congregational leaders avoid conflict rather than engaging in honest, respectful, and constructive dialogue. Individuals who avoid conflict miss an opportunity to strengthen their relationships.
Even the most spiritually mature leaders can overlook interpersonal issues that they should address. God calls all Christ-followers to fight for peace and blesses them when they do — “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” (Matt 5:9)
I studied lessons the Bible teaches regarding conflict and conducted an extensive review of business-related, church-related, and scholarly literature written on this crucial topic. Informed by my biblical study, literature review, and church network survey results, I designed a conflict engagement training program to help pastors and congregational leaders address conflict more successfully.
I would love the privilege of personally bringing ENGAGE to your church. I know the training you receive will dramatically increase your team’s knowledge, skill level, and attitude toward conflict engagement.
I hope to see you (and serve you) soon.
