Make Us One

Sundays at 3:15 P.M.

Phil Maclin is the longest running local program host on The Word. His first “Make Us One” program was as a fill-in host when our studios were located in downtown Peoria. The program was live and he says he ran out of content in 8 minutes! Phil has come a long way since then.

Phil is also the director of Housing Interdenominational Ministries in Peoria, and is a retired Peoria firefighter.

“Make Us One” reflects Jesus’ prayer in John 17 that his followers would be one.
