Fee Structure
Church Mediators is here to serve. We are not in this ministry for the money. We will work with any church to provide the help they need at a price they can afford. Therefore, the prices listed below are flexible and meant to give churches and their leaders some idea of the costs involved. (If a pastor, church board and/or church cannot afford the fee structure below, Church Mediators will provide their services for a donation or freewill offering plus travel and room and board expenses.)
1. A free initial consultation is provided to answer the important question of whether or not mediation is the process that fits in your situation.
2. When the parties involved and/or the church leadership have agreed to mediation, a small retaining fee to cover actual expenses will be required. This fee makes the relationship official and covers actual expenses. A full accounting will be provided.
3. When "on location" conflict coaching or mediation is required, Church Mediators will travel to the church location. The "on site" hourly rate is $60. (A weekly or entire process fee can be discussed if helpful.) In addition, the church is to provide transportation and private lodging during the mediator's onsite visit if outside the mediator's home area.
A typical process includes the mediator meeting one on one with every interested party and then bringing those involved together to formulate a resolution. The mediator guides the process and helps the participants formulate a mutually acceptable agreement. If the conflict is congregation-wide, the time on location could include the mediator speaking in Sunday worship services and even a fellowship meal if this would be beneficial.
