About Us

Helping Churches Heal, One Step At A Time

At The Ephesians 6:12 Group, we recognize that the challenges facing churches often go beyond human conflict—they are spiritual battles. As the Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:12,

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

This truth shapes everything we do. We stand with churches to face these battles—not alone, but with God’s strength and wisdom.

We also hold tightly to the promise of Psalm 46:1-2:

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear...”

Our mission is to guide churches through conflict, crisis, and hurt toward restoration, healing, and renewed hope—providing a safe refuge where truth and grace bring lasting peace.
