Why

Weekly worship is an opportunity for us to come together and acknowledge our dependence on one another as we seek the Spirit and walk in Christ’s Way. We trust that, as we gather, God is present among us — healing, freeing, forgiving, calling, and reconciling — even in ways that remain mysterious to us. In worship, we hear the scriptures read and proclaimed, and we allow our lives to be touched anew by God’s living Word. Perhaps most importantly, through worship we deepen our capacity to be present, and thus to treat all things with greater reverence, curiosity, and compassion.

When and Where

We gather in the Sanctuary (look for the red doors!) at 200 N. 15th Ave in Pocatello on Sunday mornings at 10:00am.

Once or twice a year we worship offsite at an outdoor location, and we hold certain evening services on liturgical holy days like Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, etc. For these, check our events page.

Kids

Kids of every age and ability are welcome to our worship with us.

For those ages 0-4 we have a church nursery that opens at 8:45am every Sunday — though if you’d rather keep them in worship with you, that’s wonderful. There are some “busy bags” in the back of the Sanctuary that include coloring sheets and other activities.

During the service itself, kids are invited to attend a “children’s church” time in the Chapel, led by a rotation of volunteers. They are gone for about 30 minutes between the greeting time and the start of Communion. They return in time to participate in Communion with their families or caregivers. Again, if they would rather remain in the Sanctuary for the full worship experience, they are more than welcome to do so.

Finally, we have a cry-corner and nursing mom’s space in the Narthex (entryway) just outside the main Sanctuary. You’ll find a rocker, a changing table, and some kids books & toys there. Feel free to use them as needed!
