Oletha Barnett is one of those unsung heroes of the faith who plays a strategic role in the Kingdom of God. Her uniqueness lies in how she has kingdomized her legal background to help develop and lead the reconciliation ministry at our church in Dallas.

Scripture is clear that matters of division and differences are to be handled by the church, not secular courts. Oletha leads teams of mature believers in hearing disputes between members and seeking to bring reconciliation, healing, and unity out of conflict. And yes, when necessary, church discipline when required due to sinful rebellion.

On a regular basis Oletha adjudicates cases referred to her and her team that allows us to be the church and not just talk church. As other churches and ministries have become aware of this aspect of our ministry, Oletha is being called upon to help them understand the biblical and necessary process for churches to apply God’s principles of reconciliation in their ministries.

Oletha Barnett helped our church with a very complex and difficult situation that was ripe for division and church conflict. Instead, the biblical mediation process led to a peaceful and fruitful path for all parties involved. Many leaders in the church are still commenting on how they have never seen a difficult situation handled in this way with the God-honoring outcome for our church. Praise the Lord for Oletha and Conciliation Services!

I have tremendous appreciation for the way you worked with grace, wisdom and love to bring peace and clarity in a situation that was so confusing and chaotic.

Your tireless efforts, over so short a period of time, to conduct an investigation, draft a report, mediate individual disputes, train the leadership, and work with elders and staff over a long weekend to pray, confess, repent, confront sin (in ourselves and others) and speak honestly, was, I am sure, divinely inspired.

Ms. Barnett has a deep commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and to His Word. She is driven by a passion to glorify God in all that she does. Her heart for prayer, her sensitivity to the Spirit’s leading, her complete impartiality as well as her depth of wisdom were all on full display as she guided our team through our leadership conflict.

She is a person of the highest integrity, has a servant’s heart, and goes above and beyond in seeking to resolve issues according to Biblical principles.

Oletha was amazing, and the plaintiff visibly relaxed, working with her. More than that, she kept the focus on what God expects from us and on reconciliation, racial and otherwise. It was wonderful working with her.

General Statement. Conciliation Services are rooted in the belief that God’s Word is sufficient for all aspects of life. Oletha Barnett combines her legal and theological experience and knowledge to provide expert and unique services.

Regarding Conversations. Although conflict can involve more than words, often, words people use are the culprit. In our unique mediations and training, we never underestimate the power of words related to a conflict. Conversations are also meant to flow. A kinder voice is a better choice. We will help you resolve conflict and equip you to resolve conflict and restore relationships.
