The Kansas Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (KIPCOR) functions as an institute within Bethel College and is dedicated to promoting peace and social justice, resolving human conflict — both locally and globally — while always striving to link the theory of what we ought to do with the practice of getting it done. KIPCOR was founded in 1985 and is one of the oldest regional peace institutes in the United States. The Institute offers an array of resources for education in conflict resolution and peacebuilding, as well as an extensive networking system for consulting and intervention.

Mission
KIPCOR endeavors to strengthen conflict resolution and peacebuilding capacities in the communities and institutions it serves. KIPCOR encourages research, education, skill development and dialogue to enhance the understanding and practice of managing conflict, and to prepare individuals and groups to be peacemakers in an evolving, complex and often troubled world. Welcoming participation by people of all backgrounds and religious traditions, KIPCOR and its programs are rooted in Anabaptist/Christian values of reconciliation, service, appreciation of diversity, personal transformation and integrity, and nonviolence and peacebuilding within the context of social justice.
