2025 ICC Certification Graduation

Thursday, December 4, 2025 3pm Mountain Time

Keynote Speaker: Annette Friesen

Each year, dedicated individuals are inspired to serve those affected by conflict. One group, after years of preparation—including over 50 hours of hands-on conciliation experience, mentorship from an Advisor, detailed casework documentation, and extensive training through our Institute for Christian Conciliation (ICC) Certification Program—has reached a significant milestone. Earning the Certified Christian Conciliator (CCC) credential is challenging, demanding both perseverance and a genuine passion for Christian conciliation. We commend everyone who, despite obstacles and successes, completes this journey.

This year's graduating class includes:

• Bob Buchanan / Advisor: Candy McCune

• Leanita Buchanan / Advisor: Candy McCune

• Melissa Wardle / Advisor: Annette Friesen and

• Krista McCutcheon / Advisor: Annette Friesen

Please join me in congratulating them, and feel free to leave words of encouragement or prayer. The graduation ceremony will take place on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at 3:00 pm Mountain Time.
