Boise is a great place to live, work and play! Nestled in the Treasure Valley against the majestic foothills, Boise is part of a thriving metropolitan area of over 550,000 people and is Idaho’s largest city.

The gateway to exceptional recreational opportunities, Boise and the surrounding area offers a wide variety of outdoor activities, many of which are readily accessed along the Boise River and its greenbelt and the nearby foothills. Residents enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, water skiing, world famous white-water rafting, Nordic and Alpine skiing, snowboarding, hunting, backpacking, camping and more.

The economy is a healthy mix of business, agriculture, education, the arts, health care, retail, manufacturing, government and the military and professional communities.

TVCOC is a multicultural church planted in 1993. The congregation presently consists of approximately 75 disciples, including families, teens, singles and a thriving campus ministry at Boise State University. We are relationally connected to the Northwest Family of Churches.

The demographics of the congregation are as follows:

• Family Ministry and Young Marrieds – 65%
• Campus – 15%
• Singles – 12%
• Teens – 9%

Fun in the Son has been great so far, and we welcome you to join us! We will be meeting on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m. at Julia Davis Park, behind the zoo!

Campers will be headed for the ever-popular Silver Creek Plunge on July 23-25. Start collecting your camping gear and get ready to experience all the amenities of being away from the city and relaxing in God’s country, the perfect setting for “soaking in” God’s word and enjoying the fellowship with his family.

As hard as it is to believe, a new year is already upon us.  It is the last year of the first decade in the new millennium.  I don’t know what all that means to you, but what it means to me is that heaven is close today than it was yesterday. With that in mind it must be every Christians’ goal to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
