Boise, Idaho
The Need
New churches reach newer and younger residents and those who are far from God. There are currently 5 protestant churches in the Southeast Boise area. The churches in this area that are growing have nearly outgrown their space. This area of the city is one of the most unreached in the Boise Metro.
The Vibe
The Boise Metro area (known as Treasure Valley) is a vibrant mix of bustling urban centers surrounded by rolling farms and intimate subdivisions with pastoral views. Boise is Idaho’s largest city and the third-largest in the Northwest (behind Seattle and Portland). It is the cultural hub of the Treasure Valley, featuring everything from art museums and touring Broadway shows to an eclectic mix of local restaurants and shopping centers.
The Southeast Boise community is one of Boise’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. It is a flourishing area with enviable access to the greenbelt, river, and the downtown core. One of Boise’s largest and most diverse neighborhoods, Southeast Boise, is home to Boise State University and area landmarks such as Barber Park, Bown Crossing, and the Simplot Sports Complex.

THE DREAM
Treasure Valley is expected to grow to over 1 million people by 2050. The high population of unchurched residents proves the need for more churches and we are looking for someone who has a heart for those who are far from God.
