In this third episode of the "Co Pro 101" series, we chat with Staci Marrese-Wheeler about the value of being hyper-locally aware, or rather, of being genuinely engaged in the neighborhood. Staci's ministry story and her church's work illustrates the value we share and are trying to grow through our Neighborhood Networks.

In this second episode of the "CoPro 101" series, we talk with John Schmitz about the heart behind ecumenism and seeking unity. We find John's intentional relationship-building and desire to see the Church respond to God's call incredible encouraging. If you do too, please share this episode with others!

In this first episode of the "CoPro 101" series, we talk with Marcio Sierra about the context of ecumenism in the last few decades in Madison and his experience of pursuing unity in The Church. We see Pastor Marcio as an exemplar in the sphere of ecumenical work and are glad to get to help share his story more widely, in hopes that we each can identify with different parts and consider what collaboration or even more simply, the pursuit of relationship, can look like for us.https://www.collaborationproject.us/register?category=FlourishFest

This last year we launched a Neighborhood Catalyst. Listen to Drew Larson (Westwood Christian Church & InterVarsity) share about his experience.

Professor Dan Meyer sits down with Rebecca Cooks to share about the responsibility to not only support the poor but to consider the policies that impact those in need. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life's roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway."Registration for the KJS dinner groups on Friday March 7th close Friday, February 28th, so register ASAP. ⁠https://www.kingdomjusticesummit.com/register-2025⁠
