PeaceWise affiliation
PeaceWise affiliation recognises Christian schools, churches, organisations and businesses (collectively called organisations) that are actively and intentionally building a culture of peace. These affiliated organisations are committed to helping their communities live out Jesus’ promise….
“Blessed are the peacemakers.” – Matthew 5:9
A PeaceWise affiliated organisation will be able to demonstrate:
- At least two years of actively equipping their community as peacemakers prior to affiliation.
- A commitment to further building a culture of peace using PeaceWise resources for at least 3 years once affiliated.
- A clear and ongoing plan to intentionally build strong and healthy relationships and foster a culture of peace.
what does the PeaceWise affiliation logo mean?
Displaying the PeaceWise affiliation logo signals an organisation is serious about peacemaking and building healthy relationships. It shows the community and the world the organisation is:
- sharing the life-changing message of Jesus’ peace
- equipping people of all ages to live as peacemakers through PeaceWise training and resources like PeaceWiseKids and PeaceWiseYouth
- making intentional, long-term plans to support a culture of peacemaking
Each affiliated organisation expresses this in unique ways, shaped by their own context and community.
what does the PeaceWise affiliation logo NOT mean?
It’s important to understand what the logo is not saying. The logo:
- does not certify a certain standard of behaviour or endorse any specific conduct within an organisation
- does not indicate that PeaceWise has reviewed or audited an organisation’s policies or procedures
- does not imply that PeaceWise has been engaged for dispute resolution or EAP services
- does not represent any kind of recommendation or accreditation from PeaceWise, or confirmation or guarantee that conflicts or difficult situations will be handled by the organisation in question in a particular way
PeaceWise affiliation is about celebrating intentional commitment—not policing or endorsing specific outcomes.
how can you become PeaceWise affiliated?
Affiliation is offered by invitation to organisations that demonstrate a clear and ongoing commitment to building a culture of peace through PeaceWise resources and training.
If you believe your organisation may be a strong candidate, we invite you to reach out to your PeaceWise Relationship Manager to explore the opportunity further.
