Your financial support can help bring the light of Orthodoxy to the western Treasure Valley.

In the past few years, the Parish of Saint Seraphim Orthodox Church in Boise, Idaho has more than doubled its number of parishioners. It has been such a blessing to help so many people come to know God. With this growth comes the need for expansion.

We started by holding a weekday service in nearby Nampa, Idaho. That small effort has grown to Saint Spyridon Orthodox Church mission with a rich Liturgical life in a rented building. Still, we must keep our eyes on the future of this parish.

We are looking for a building to buy, or land on which to build in order to ensure that we can meet our future needs. Realistically, it will cost $1.3 -1.5 million regardless of which option we pursue. Real Estate is expensive in this area, but largely because of the population growth which makes it all the more important to establish an Orthodox parish here in the western Treasure Valley of Idaho. Our patron Saint, Saint Spyridon of Tremithus, once helped a poor man buy food by transforming a serpent into gold. We know that all things are possible with God, especially when we choose to help one another.

God has blessed us in this endeavor, and we are certain that He will continue to do so. We pray also that He will bless those who bless us. Will you help us to expand this mission to the growing number of people who are hungering and thirsting for Christ and searching for the place where they will encounter Him? Every gift offered will be received with prayer and thanksgiving.

In addition to financial assistance, we ask for your prayers in our efforts to establish this mission, and ask you to share this request with others who have a zeal for the building up of God’s Church. Our reach may be very small, but through you God can reach those who love the beauty of His house.
