We Are Peacemakers

The Matthew 5:9 Fellowship supports evangelical Christian leaders and pastors in shepherding their communities to live out the Gospel and place their identity in Jesus Christ above partisanship and societal divisions.

Get to Know Us

The Fellowship connects leaders grappling with division in the US and supports them to speak and act effectively to build a future in which all human beings are treated as image-bearers of God regardless of earthly divisions – in their churches, their communities, and beyond.

“The training we received from the (Matthew 5:9 Fellowship) helped map the terrain of today’s polarization. These scholars, friends, faith leaders and scientists put today’s realities into historical context and give specific steps toward embodying peace. This Way of Jesus—peacemaking—is integral to our discipleship and is urgently needed right now. Our families, neighborhoods, and cities need a vibrant community trained and equipped in living out courageous peacemaking. Lock arms with Jesus’ followers across millennia and join today’s movement.”

“The (Matthew 5:9 Fellowship) offers a pathway toward a future that so many of us dream about, but don’t know how to act upon.”

“What I love most about it is that its relevance was not merely academic or theoretical but was deeply practical. As a pastor, I have heard countless people dissect and diagnose culture but have heard precious few offer a hope-filled way forward. The (Matthew 5:9 Fellowship) does just that.”

“These conversations are necessary and beneficial for the kingdom. Keep moving forward.”
“One of the best Zoom meetings I’ve been on. It was organized, thoughtful, personal, well balanced of head and heart knowledge, interactive, good pace. I didn’t feel bored or like it was dragged on. Even the tech part was done smoothly. Super well done and offered lots of good things to learn from.”
“Excellent and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the training! Thank you for all who worked to bring this training to us!!”
