Statistics indicate that one in three women in our churches will experience domestic abuse at some point. These situations are generally very complex, and without proper knowledge, well-meaning helpers can easily do more harm than good. One only needs to watch the news to see that overall our churches have not responded well. Scripture is clear that God’s heart is for the oppressed, and that church leaders are charged with caring well for His sheep (See Ezekiel 34 and Jeremiah 23). Let us help equip you to do just that. Called to Peace Ministries is dedicated to help improve church responses through advocacy and education.

Called to Peace Ministries' twofold mission is:

1) to provide practical assistance and counsel to individuals affected by domestic abuse and  

2) to educate organizations & helpers to better respond to these crises through education and mentoring.
