Dealing with problems while they are small
helps stop them from becoming big.
A strong and healthy human body is able to fight off disease better than a weak and sickly one. It's the same in a church. When the church is healthy (not perfect, but healthy) they know that a disagreement between members or staff is like an occasional bout of insomnia or the common cold in an otherwise healthy adult. It's unpleasant, but it will pass if we deal with it correctly. We know that disagreements are normal and survivable.
No one in a healthy church should ever feel afraid to bring a legitimate problem to light. Especially when communicating to and among the Leadership Team.
FUMC hopes to create an environment where people feel free to share problems as soon as they see them, so we can deal with them while they are easy to fix. We've created a Conflict Resolution Policy so that we have a plan in place to resolve conflicts in the healthiest way possible. The policy is available by clicking on the button below. There are also hard copies available in the church office.
Also listed below are the members of our Staff Pastor Parish Relations Ministry Team. These team members are available to serve as mediators if needed. Contact information for these members can be obtained by contacting the church office at 304.375.6386 or by sending an email to us at http://www.fumcwmst@yahoo.com
