Finding a place where your family feels truly at home can be a journey. Whether you’ve lived in the Treasure Valley for years or you’re one of the many families recently making Boise your new home, the search for a community that aligns with your values and welcomes your children with open arms is a top priority. At 1Love Christian Church, we understand that "church" isn’t just a building you visit on Sunday mornings: it’s a family you belong to.
In a world that often feels fast-paced and disconnected, we’ve intentionally cultivated a space that feels like a small, tight-knit community. We are a gathering of about 50 to 70 people who are passionate about Jesus, each other, and our local Boise neighbors. If you’re looking for a family-friendly church in Boise, we invite you to discover how we do life together.
A Sunday Morning Designed for Your Family
We know that Sunday mornings with kids can be a bit of a whirlwind. Between finding matching socks and getting everyone out the door, the last thing you need is a high-pressure environment. At 1Love Christian Church, we keep things casual, visionary, and deeply rooted in the Word. Our Sunday schedule is designed to offer something for every member of the family, from the seasoned believer to the curious newcomer.
Our Sunday Morning Schedule:
- 9:30 AM – Bible Study: A time to dive deep into the Scriptures. We often feature in-depth studies led by experienced teachers like Dale Cornett, bringing decades of biblical wisdom to our morning.
- 10:30 AM – Worship: We gather as a whole body to sing, pray, and prepare our hearts.
- 11:00 AM – The Sermon: A practical, inspirational message focused on following Jesus in real life.
For the Kids: God’s Squad and Children’s Church
Parents often ask, "What is there for my kids?" At 1Love Christian Church, we don’t just "watch" children; we minister to them. We believe that children are a vital part of the church today, not just the church of the future.
During our morning sessions, children participate in God’s Squad. This isn't your average Sunday school. From 9:30 to 11:00 AM, our kids engage in sensory activities, crafts, music, and challenges that make the Bible come alive. It’s hands-on, high-energy, and a lot of fun.
Once the main sermon begins at 11:00 AM, the younger ones transition into Children’s Church. Here, they receive a Bible lesson tailored specifically to their age group, allowing parents to focus on the sermon while knowing their children are learning about the love of God in a safe, nurturing environment.
Strengthening the Home: Man Up Men’s Ministry
We believe that strong families start with supported, encouraged, and spiritually grounded men. That’s why the Man Up Men’s Ministry is a cornerstone of our community. In a culture that often provides confusing messages about fatherhood and leadership, "Man Up" is a space for real conversations.
This ministry isn't about being "perfect"; it's about being willing. We gather to discuss the challenges of modern life, the responsibilities of being a husband and father, and how to lead our families with grace and truth. It’s a place to drop the mask, share the burdens, and sharpen one another. When the men of our church grow, the whole family thrives.
Heart-Centered Support: Boise Pastoral Care
Life is beautiful, but it can also be incredibly difficult. Whether you are navigating a job loss, a parenting struggle, or a season of spiritual doubt, you shouldn’t have to carry those weights alone. This is where our commitment to Boise pastoral care shines.
At 1Love Christian Church, pastoral care isn't a formal office visit: it’s a relational commitment. Our leadership and our Prayer & Care team are dedicated to walking alongside you. We offer prayer, encouragement, and practical support to our members. Because we are a smaller congregation, you aren't just a face in a crowd of thousands; you are a brother or sister whose name we know and whose story we care about.
Impacting our City: Boise Outreach Programs
Our vision extends far beyond our own walls. We believe that a church that doesn't serve its city isn't fully living out the Gospel. Our Boise outreach programs are focused on being the hands and feet of Jesus right here in the Treasure Valley.
We take the call of Matthew 25 seriously: to serve "the least of these." Whether it’s through our local evangelism teams or community service projects, we are constantly looking for ways to share the love of Jesus in tangible ways. When you join 1Love Christian Church, you aren't just joining a Sunday service; you’re joining a mission to bring hope to Boise.
Friday Fellowship: Faith Around the Table
While Sundays are the highlight of our week, some of our most profound growth happens in living rooms. Our Friday Fellowship is a beloved tradition where families gather at 6:00 PM in different homes across the city.
There’s something sacred about sharing a meal together. Friday Fellowship is a time for food, laughter, prayer, and a relaxed Bible study. It’s the perfect entry point for families who are looking for deep connection without the formality of a traditional service. It’s where the "1Love" in our name truly comes to life: loving God and loving one another in the middle of our everyday lives.
You’re Invited to Come as You Are
We often say that we are "not perfect, just willing." If you’ve been looking for a family-friendly church in Boise that values authenticity over performance, we’d love to meet you.
Whether you’re a single parent looking for a supportive village, a father looking to "Man Up" in his faith, or a family looking for a place where your kids can truly belong, there is a seat at the table for you at 1Love Christian Church.
Come visit us this Sunday. Let’s explore what it looks like to follow Jesus together in the heart of Boise.
