Mission/Vision

Mission

“To foster peacemaking and the resolution of conflict through the teaching

and implementation of Restorative Justice values and principles.”

Vision

The Center for Community Peacemaking (CCP) is a restorative justice program that reflects the biblical perspective of shalom (peace), which is the existence of right relationships among individuals, the community, and God.

CCP provides facilitated dialog to victims and youthful offenders, and collaborates with other Lancaster County services to further its mission.

CCP will continue to be recognized as a valuable resource with a proven success rate and reduced recidivism. It will be supported by contributions from a broad constituency. The staff, board of directors, volunteers, victims, and offenders will reflect the diversity of the community.

CCP will expand its mediation services to include adult offenders and a wider range of offenses.

Motto

Building Community . . . Peace by Peace
