The Story of Vision Baptist.
From the Military to God's Calling
Brad, originally from Cleveland, and Brooke, from the Cincinnati area, both attended Miami University in Ohio, where Brad joined the Air Force ROTC and was commissioned as an active-duty officer upon graduation. After marrying, they began a 19-year career in the Air Force, with Brad retiring in 2014 to answer God's call to ministry. In 2020, they planted Vision Baptist Church, an independent, Bible-believing Baptist church, as a church plant from Cleveland Baptist Church.
​
Located in the East Side suburbs of Cleveland, Vision Baptist Church was launched on September 27, 2020, with a commitment to build the church God's way—using Biblical methods of salvation and one-on-one discipleship. Though the challenges of church planting are many, they trust in God's ability to do the impossible and are committed to growth through sacrifice, commitment, and faith. If you'd like to be part of what God is doing, they invite you to join them.
What We Believe.
The Importance of Church Doctrine
Doctrine means teaching and the doctrine of a church is of upmost importance. Here at Vision Baptist Church, our doctrine is Biblical doctrine - nothing more, nothing less. If you are interested in hearing and doing what God says in his Word, rather than man's opinion, we lovingly invite you to Vision Baptist Church. There is nothing more loving than sharing the Truth of the Bible and the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
​
What our community, our city and our world need is Jesus Christ. We believe that tomorrow’s future begins with the teaching and training of today’s youth in timeless Biblical truths. Our desire is for each child to know Christ personally and to increase that relationship through a deeper understanding of God’s Word. As adults, the believer should continue to mature in their faith and relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus Christ's return is soon and the believer needs to watch for his coming. Each service at Vision Baptist Church has God honoring, soul-stirring music and Spirit-led, Biblical preaching. We believe the Bible is the standard for conduct in this sin-filled world and we take seriously its command to come out from the world and live a separated life. In today’s world of contemporary Christianity, we strive to practice a godly walk. We do not compromise with the ecumenical movement or any other organization that seeks to tear down the foundations of our faith.
The Borke Family
The Borke family—Brad, Brooke, Madeline, and Jack—spent 19 years in the U.S. Air Force and are now happily serving God through Vision Baptist Church.
While Brad and Brooke grew up in religious homes, it wasn’t until 2004, when they attended Liberty Baptist Church in Las Vegas, that they accepted Jesus as their Savior. Madeline and Jack, who’ve always grown up in a Christian home, were saved and baptized in 2012 and are actively involved in their churches also.
