I have visited Life Church a number of times over the years (whenever I am home from the military)…read moreand I am thankful and blessed to call it my home church even if I am thousands of miles away. Life Church is relational, not religious. First off, the presence of God is overwhelmingly powerful, tangible and easily sensed here. God's movement in Life Church is persistently evident through the numerous life changing testimonies of those who attend. Addicts fully recovered, the sick are healed, relationships and families restored, sinners completely set free, kids and youth learn and believe, businesses and finances prosper- the lost are found, and the found are taught. Judge them by their fruit, or come see for yourself. Their worship is truly amazing and led by the Holy Spirit. The worship team is gifted and they steward their gifts well. The music is a mix of modern Christian and contemporary gospel that is upbeat, inspiring, intimate and spontaneous, true worship of God and His son Jesus. Pastor Mark and the entire pastoral staff are truly diligent in study and in walk- sermons are biblical, truthful, and full of God inspired revelations that impact your life. I especially love how the teachings are organized into a series and are presented clearly. Don't be surprised if you find yourself laughing mid sermon either... (fun at church)!? The congregation is full of loving and accepting people who genuinely love the Lord and love people. There is a staffed nursery, kids classes, youth groups, young adults, and life groups for every category, age, and season of life. There is Life Bible College for those called to serve and are hungry for higher education. They have an app for staying connected, archives of previous teachings, digital giving and more. Life Church live-streams on Facebook and YouTube and is active on Instagram making it easy to stay connected and be fed while away. I have searched for a church like this where I am stationed... I am still searching. If you are in the Treasure Valley, your search is over.

My family moved to Idaho pre COVID, and have been attending CVCS for 6 or 7 years. (Time flies.) We…read morecurrently have all our kids enrolled, and we love the education they are getting, both academically and spiritually. With many Christian schools, it seems that faith is put on top of curriculum, like frosting on a cake. I've seen at CVCS that faith is baked into the cake itself. For example, every parent/teacher conference is opened in prayer, each child is prayed over when considering classroom placement, and Christianity permeates every aspect of academics and social activities. If you live in the Treasure Valley and want a solid education for your kids, as well as having them surrounded by positive role models, I strongly recommend Cole Valley!

I am genuinely heartbroken that I have to write a review like this, but families deserve to know…read moreour experience. We were excited about The Ambrose School. During our tour, they expressed how much they loved our child, how well she would fit, and even told us there was an open spot. All we needed to do was complete the application. We did exactly that. The application asked detailed questions about our specific Christian faith and the church we attend. Within a week of submitting it, we received a cold, impersonal email informing us that our application was being terminated and our fee refunded. No explanation. No conversation. No willingness to clarify anything. Just a closed door. When I reached out and respectfully asked for the reason behind their sudden reversal, we received complete silence. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Based on the timing and the nature of the questions they focused on, it is hard to see this as anything other than religious discrimination. What makes this even more painful is that our child previously attended a nearly identical "Classical Christian" school in another state--with the same curriculum, same values, same books, same structure--and thrived as a straight-A student. She was everything they say they want in a student. Explaining to her why Ambrose had suddenly changed their mind was absolutely heartbreaking. Their academics appear strong, and I am sure many students receive an excellent education. But our experience revealed something far more concerning: a lack of transparency, compassion, and Christlike behavior. The way we were treated was dismissive, exclusionary, and completely out of line with the values they claim to uphold. Families deserve honesty and respect. Sadly, we experienced neither.

People that criticize a Christian Church have probably adopted the need to condemn other people…read more Denouncing others is an effortless way to enhance a sense of self-righteousness. Latching on to selected text in the Bible can help justify the judgments. Sadly, people that practice this behavior are not embracing, and may completely miss, Jesus' primary message of love. Love takes some willingness and practice, just like hate. I've been visiting Churches in Boise, especially in the north-end. I haven't found one that doesn't embrace Christs' Love.
