Free Community Event:

An Evening with Jamie Bruesehoff

Open to all LGBTQ+ individuals as well as parents, family, friends, and allies of LGBTQ+ youth and adults. Come engage in discussion on how our community can support, advocate, increase hope, and make safer spaces for our LGBTQ+ siblings here in Idaho.

Habitat for Humanity Build

This year our annual Habitat for Humanity frame build will be for a home not too far from our Amity Campus. We are partnering again with CrossRoads Missions, as we have for the past dozen years or so. As always, we need lots of volunteers!


Take a look at the sign-up link below and sign up for one of the needed jobs. No construction experience necessary and kids are welcome. Come experience something near to a miracle on earth – ALL are welcome!

Email pschroeder@boisefumc.org with any questions.

And now...

Dear friends and members of Amity,


I am so encouraged by the momentum we have going at Amity. We are reinventing the Garden ministry and reaching the community in exciting new ways. We have had several weeks of double-digit numbers in our children’s ministry. We had a fantastic turnout and fantastic fellowship at our potluck. The Ukraine Church, in part through our giving, has enlarged its building and increased its capacity to provide refuge for those who are displaced. We have 17 people in our mysticism class. (When someone asked me to do the class, I said, ‘Ok, but be prepared for it to be you and me and maybe three other people. Sometimes even the pastor could have a little more faith.)


Of course all of this is on top of the ministries that are every bit as important, but are more stable right now.


It is a tremendous thing to be riding this wave. I hope you are as thrilled and hopeful for the future as I am. God is blessing our ministries!


See you in worship,

Pastor Brian Thie (He, Him)
