WHY THE FELLOWSHIP EXISTS

Across the Christian peacebuilding landscape, faithful organizations are helping churches and communities navigate conflict, cultivate trust, and bear witness to the peace of Christ. Yet much of this work happens independently, limiting opportunities to share learning, strengthen partnerships, and respond together to the challenges facing the Church.

The Christian Peacebuilding Collaborative (CPC) exists to cultivate the relationships, trust, and shared learning that enable the Christian peacebuilding ecosystem to flourish.

FOUNDING MEMBERS

CPC is beginning with a small cohort of founding members representing diverse Christian traditions, ministries, and approaches to peacebuilding.

Together, they are helping shape the collaborative's culture, shared learning, and long-term vision. Their experience during this initial pilot will inform how the collaborative grows and serves the broader Christian peacebuilding field in the years ahead.

THE PILOT

CPC is currently being launched through a three-year pilot with an initial cohort of 18 founding members representing 17 non-profit organizations, foundations, and academic institutions. During this phase, participants will help shape the network’s shared practices, learning culture, and long-term design.

Following this initial period of learning and refinement, we anticipate welcoming additional organizations beginning in late 2028 or early 2029.
