Services
Worship Services
Our Sunday worship services at 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. combine Wesleyan theology with Anglican liturgical traditions. Both services include scripture readings, hymns with theological depth, sermons applying biblical teachings to contemporary life, and Holy Communion. The 4:00 p.m. Renewing Worship service incorporates modern elements while maintaining sacramental focus. All services follow the Christian calendar, with seasonal themes guiding scripture selections and worship elements throughout the year.
Children's Programs
We offer age-appropriate programs for children during Sunday services, including story time for ages 5-8 and nursery care for younger children. Our educational materials help children engage with scripture through coloring pages, activity sheets, and interactive learning. Children participate in the main service for communion and are welcome to remain with their families throughout worship. All programs emphasize biblical foundations in an accessible format for different developmental stages.
Holy Week Services
Our Holy Week observances include Palm Sunday/Passion Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil. These services follow the ancient Christian tradition of the Triduum - a continuous three-day worship experience. The Easter Vigil includes the lighting of the Paschal candle, scriptural prophecies, and renewal of baptismal vows. These services emphasize the unity of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection through symbolic rituals and traditional liturgy.
Evening Prayers
Thursday evening prayer services at 7:00 p.m. follow traditional liturgical formats from The Book of Common Prayer and other historic sources. The 20-minute service includes scripture readings, congregational prayers, and opportunities for personal intercessions. Optional healing prayer with anointing oil follows each service, allowing extended time for individual prayer needs and community support in a quiet, contemplative setting.
Baptism Ceremonies
We conduct baptism ceremonies following biblical, historical, and theological traditions. These services emphasize the sacrament's significance as a covenant with God and incorporation into the Christian community. Baptisms are typically performed during special services at the Boise River or within the chapel, with appropriate liturgical elements and congregational participation. Instructional classes help participants understand the theological meaning and commitments involved in Christian baptism.
