LGBTQIA+ Inclusion

We fully affirm and support LGBTQIA+ individuals. There are no barriers here to full participation, leadership, or love. We denounce discrimination, conversion therapy, and theologies that marginalize. We call people by their chosen names and pronouns. God loves and inspires all people!

Serving Our Community

Guided by Christ's call to service, we support a range of ministries from local food security and emergency assistance to global relief and development efforts. Inspired by God’s boundless love, we respond with faithful action, partnering in hope to care for our neighbors in Boise and beyond.

Children & Families

We don’t just welcome children, we celebrate them! People of all ages are seen, heard, and valued here. We believe children reflect the image of God just as powerfully as adults! Their voices, questions, and presence enrich our community.
