Events

D1:8 frequently hosts events to love, encourage, and teach their children in new ways

B.L.A.S.T & I.M.P.A.C.T Summits

Previously called Personality Development Workshop, our girls' and boys' summits have been an annual event since 2017! During this event, we teach, mentor and encourage these young people, specifically about daily issues they encounter. B.L.A.S.T which means Building Lives Around Sound Truth is for our girls and I.M.P.A.C which means Influencing My Peers as A Catalyst is for our boys.

Better Than The Babylonians (B.T.T.B)

Every year, typically in the month of May, D1:8 hosts an event that is centered around contemplation and prayer. This event is welcome to all and usually focused on our junior and senior high school students. We seek too further know the Lord and wisdom from Him.

Discipleship & Graduation

Around the month of March every year, some selected children are taken through a discipleship program for a period of 12 weeks. After which they graduate and are given bibles and certificates of participation. During this program, members are given the opportunity to give their lives to Christ. The discipleship program is opened to all members of the community at large.

Prov. 21:20 Challenge

Proverbs 21:20 says, “The wise man saves for the future, but the foolish man spends whatever he gets.” One of our biggest goals at D1:8 is to cultivate a habit within children of financial stewardship and saving and investing skills. We believe our kids are “Young But Wise,” which is D1:8’s mantra. We challenge our kids to have a money box where they intentionally save for a year and decide what to do with the money, often donating it to other charities.

Summer Camp

August marks our annual summer camp, where children meet at our center and enjoy games, interact with others, build relationships, learn from leaders, and hear about Jesus. Last year's Summer Camp was limited due to COVID, so we’ve been looking forward to a full Camp this year.
