We meet in the evening, usually, beginning at 5:30PM and break up around 8:00PM. There is a great support and friendship within the group. We look forward to each time together.

Care Ministry
Care Ministry is an arm of the church reaching out to the needs of others. We are responsible for hospital visitations, shut-in visitation and calling upon and praying for those who are sick or afflicted in same way. In addition, we follow-up on people who have visited our church and new converts that have accepted Christ as their savior. Our care ministry team consists of around 20 people who faithfully and quietly carry on the ministry. Care ministry is based upon Matthew 25:35-40 where Christ is speaking of the reward for those involved in this very real outreach.

Prison Ministry
There is a great need for ministry among the prison population here in Idaho. The needs are great, almost to the point of being overwhelming at times. Our Prison Ministry is accomplished via the mail. We send out a Bible study twice a month. We have close to 50 inmates on our mailing list. In addition to the Bible studies, we correspond personally with many of them. This is a very demanding ministry and requires much prayer. In addition, we have the opportunity to visit some personally at the Ada County jail.
