INTRODUCTION
My name is Dr. Ken Newberger. I hold a Ph.D. in Conflict Analysis & Resolution from Nova Southeastern University and a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. I am the author of Hope in the Face of Conflict: Making Peace with Others the Way God Makes Peace with Us.
Since 2001, my work has helped couples and congregations replace conflict with peace, hurt with healing, and distance with genuine connection. I have worked with more than 500 couples and spent 12 years mediating conflicts within church boards, staff, and congregations. My approach, based on the Judeo-Christian Model of Peacemaking introduced in my book, brings together a solid biblical foundation and the best of modern research.

Great Falls. According to Niche.com, "Great Falls is a suburb of Washington, D.C. with a population of 14,872. Great Falls is in Fairfax County and is one of the best places to live in Virginia. Living in Great Falls offers residents a rural feel and most residents own their homes. In Great Falls there are a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. Residents of Great Falls tend to have moderate political views. The public schools in Great Falls are highly rated."
According to neighborhoodscout.com, "Great Falls VA is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Great Falls really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Great Falls perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live."
One resident of Great Falls VA stated, "Great Falls is the perfect suburb to live in. It's about 30 minutes from Washington D.C and 1 hour from some scenic mountains in West Virginia. We also have the famous Potomac River Falls in our backyard. I love the community they have in Great Falls, there is always something going on in the courtyard of the plaza called "the Village", whether it's a small concert with barbeques or a farmers market. Every weekend, we have police cars setting up checkpoints to make sure people are making good decisions before getting behind the wheel. I've absolutely loved the last 11 years of living here and I cannot imagine myself living somewhere else."
Said another, "Great Falls park and river bend park are both good options for getting out and communing with nature. Great Falls park has a fairly spectacular waterfall, miles of hiking of various grades of difficulty, and a lot of good rock climbing routes. I've also seen kayakers braving the rapids below the falls. River bend park is more serene, and is good for picnics and has many hiking trails. There is a boat launch, and the calm river there is great for canoeing and fishing."
It should be noted that Great Falls is an expensive area compared even to other towns in Fairfax County. As another resident pointed out, "Great Falls is a very rich suburban community with beautiful homes.... Homes are incredibly expensive (ours was upwards of 2 million)."
