MISSIONS OF EIGHTH DAY
Mission groups are the center of life in the Eighth Day Faith
Community. Many of these groups have given birth to missions that are now
non-profit agencies. Here is a partial list of the groups and/or agencies.
|
Membership in Eighth Day is based on commitment to Christ and
response to God's call to deepen the inward journey and to serve God through
actively participating in a mission group. Mission groups are the structure we
have found most helpful in supporting God's individual and corporate call.
Mission groups consist of at least two members who have responded to a
particular call to ministry. Mission groups meet weekly to support one another
in spiritual growth and outward mission. The calls of current mission groups
include:
|
BANYAN TREE -
creates, provides and coordinates learning and study opportunities for the 8th
Day Faith
community.
COMPANIONS - committed to seeking out and making friends with
low-income persons
FAMILY PLACE - ministry, outreach and support to low
income families with young children and expectant mothers.
WAY TO
JERUSALEM - fostering awareness and
understanding of the issues dividing the Palestinians and Jews; seeking ways to
be agents of reconciliation
WELLSPRING (with

inward and outward journey
Welcoming Hearts: celebrates diversity and encourages inclusiveness in our community through
