the 8th Day Institute and leadership training
The 8th Day Community is dedicated to living compassion in the city. This means we are purposeful in attending to the brokenness of society and reaching people with a witness of community found in Jesus that is unique and valued. One of the primary ways we "live" this out is training leaders for the current and future generations of Christian witness. We are convinced that leaders today and leaders of tomorrow have to be people of integrity and service, willing to "soil" their gloves in the brokenness of humankind, while at the same time deeply involved in helping champion and nurture the gifts and creative potential of all people.
The 8th Day Institute is dedicated to training men and women from all walks of life and across denominational and organizational spectrums in a concentrated two-year program. This training is accessible to the working adult as well as providing students with credit through practicum and internship possibilities. The Institute trains people in examining the "interior life" for service in the "external landscapes" of social justice, care, business, church ministries and human services.
Leadership development is a key resource of the 8th Day Community. The 8th Day Institute forms learning communities, training people from all walks of life across denominational and organizational spectrums in a concentrated two-year program. For those interested in leadership training, especially as that impacts business and entrepreneurial challenges, follow this link to the 8th Day Institute page on this site for more detailed information.
The 8th Day Institute is committed to spiritual renewal and living out incarnationally God's desire for intimacy, compassion, and justice. We celebrate our encounter with Jesus in all of life, our reception of the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, and the loving embrace of God the Father.
