Our Vision
8th Day Baptist Church is made up of individuals who strive to keep Christ at the center of our lives. We are committed to living out God’s Word in our daily lives so that others may be encouraged to live in obedience to Christ. We believe that God is, and has called us to be a praying church that brings people in, trains them, and sends them out to serve. To our church, this means:
1. Doing whatever it takes to reach the unsaved for Christ.
2. Focusing on people and accepting them wherever they happen to be in life.
3. Effectively equipping people to serve in their areas of uniqueness.
4. Working as a team for the sake of the harvest.
