Q + A

Each week, our church family has the opportunity to submit questions they have. Then, pastors and staff answer the top few questions of the week, and you can find those answers here.

The answers to each week’s questions will also be sent out via email, so be sure to text “connect” to 208-321-7440 and follow the prompts to get signed up to receive those emails.
