An open and affirming community, seeking a caring and just society.
For 2026, the Presbyterian Church (USA) has moved to three churchwide special offerings: One Great Hour of Sharing; World Communion (formerly Peacemaking); and Christmas Joy.
The Pentecost Offering has been discontinued, though the ministries it had supported will now be supported by the remaining three offerings. Southminster will continue to be an eager participant in all three PC(USA) Special Offerings.
The Lenten journey from the ashes of death to the promise of resurrected life begins on the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday. Join us for worship (in-person and online) on Wednesday February 18 at 7:00pm as we gather to worship and to receive the imposition of ashes.
We celebrate the Transfiguration during our Sabbath Worship on Saturday February 14, with the story of Jesus’ radiant glory being proclaimed in a new and vivid way. During the sermon, our Puppet Team will proclaim the word through a blacklight presentation—revealing light, color, and meaning that aren’t always visible at first glance. It will be creative, unexpected, and deeply rooted in the mystery of God’s transforming presence among us. Come ready to see and hear the gospel in a new light
Every week that the Idaho Legislature is in session, we join our partners from Interfaith Justice Idaho (formerly Interfaith Equality Coalition) for silent prayer on the steps of the State Capitol. This group works to bring equality, justice, and dignity to all people in Idaho, particularly LGBTQIA+ people. Join us in strengthening our silent witness as we remind beloved friends and neighbors they don’t stand alone. Wednesdays from 12:00 to 12:30pm. Questions? See Pastor TJ.
