Meet the core team.

Everyone you see here has been drawn to this work in one way or another. We’re passionate about what we do and also how we are. We all bring individual gifts that, together, contribute to furthering this movement. Oh, and we have so much fun doing it! Come by anytime and say hi!

Our purpose, our mission.

We believe that an asset-based approach to neighboring can create lasting change in the world, reduce a host of social issues and increase the quality of life for individuals, communities, and beyond.

We achieve our “Big Idea” by living out relationship, abundance, and joy in our founding neighborhood and sharing what we've learned in simple, doable, and universal ways with individuals, churches, and civic organizations.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The Neighboring Movement nurtures authentic, gifts-focused connections to foster neighbor-centered leadership. We work for justice for all neighbors across the intersections of age, race, ethnicity, family configuration, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, immigration status, difference of ability, neurodiversity, religious tradition, body shape and size, economic circumstances, housing status, and more. The expression of our work will be a liberating and justice-seeking effort of joy, relationship, and abundance for all people. The Neighboring Movement was originally founded within the Christian tradition and now works with those of religious, non-religious, and nominally religious backgrounds.
