During Saturday’s Summit at Upper House, gifted speakers, artists, panelists, and break-out leaders will challenge, encourage, and inspire us as we consider our 'faithful next step' in pursuing justice. Together, we will deepen our understanding of poverty as the antithesis of justice and discover ways God may be calling each of us to address the injustice of poverty.

In 2014, we dreamt of creating an event designed to discuss justice issues specifically impacting the Madison/Dane County area. We hoped to bring Christ's followers from all corners of the Dane County area together to ask, “What is Kingdom Justice?” and dream about what it might look like lived out in our communities.

It was our hope from the beginning to foster greater collaboration between followers of Christ for the glory of God and the good of our county. In the early years, the Kingdom Justice Summit had people from over 30 different faith communities coming together to dream about how God might use His church to serve the most vulnerable. In recent history, we have had people from over 60 Christian communities represented, and we're hoping for even greater representation in years to come. We dream that we would see the church of Dane County united in its’ transformative love for our community, to the glory of God and good of all people.

We hope the Kingdom Justice Summit will be more than a weekend event. Together, God has called us to do justice and love mercy. What would it look like for us to serve our city together? We hope to see you at this year’s Kingdom Justice Summit.
