What is the Reconciler Pathway?

The Reconciler Pathway is a powerful journey of spiritual formation that empowers believers to actively engage in Gospel-Centered reconciliation in their personal lives and communities.

Join the Reconciler Pathway

Reconciler Pathway is a dual-track program that embodies the Know, Own, Change model. Within the program, there are Reconcilers and Fellows. Reconcilers will consist of laypersons within the church who want to pursue gospel-centered reconciliation within their churches and communities. They will engage in bi-monthly virtual sessions over a 12-month period, where they will learn about the history and impact of racism in our country, the role of the Church, and how they can act with mercy and justice, advancing the mission of Gospel-Centered reconciliation.
