HEALING IS THE HEART OF OUR MISSION
He heals, mends, and makes whole.

He is Jehovah Rapha
the god who heals
______________________________________________
Rapha Church is a non-denominational church in Meridian, Idaho, focused on building authentic community and meaningful worship experiences.
Everything we do centers on Him. Our desire is to be a life-giving, Spirit-filled community that reaches out with love, hope, and healing to the people around us.
Our Heart at Rapha
We believe that Jesus is our ultimate Healer and through prayer, His Word, and the power of His presence, lives can be transformed.
Healing is often a journey — one that involves community, courage, and taking intentional steps toward freedom.
At Rapha Church, our mission is to cultivate an atmosphere where people can encounter the healing presence of God, discover their God-given purpose, and walk in the fullness of joy that only He provides.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 says, “Encourage one another and build each other up.”
That’s what we aim to do — come alongside you, support you, and believe with you for restoration in every area of life.
Healing doesn’t always happen overnight, but the process begins when we bring things into the light and allow God to work. At Rapha, we’re creating a church family rooted in compassion, honesty, and hope — a place to grow together in faith.
We’d love for you to be part of this story — to step into purpose, into community, and into the wholeness that Jesus freely offers.

FAQs
What is a House Church?
A house church is a smaller, home-based expression of the church where people gather for worship, discipleship, and community in an intimate, family-like environment.
Do you meet every Sunday?
Yes we do! Our rhythm right now is to meet in house churches on Sundays for the majority of the month. On the last Sunday of each month, we all come together at our Meridian location for a combined gathering with worship, the Word, and community.
Where is the front entrance for the End-of-Month Services?
The front entrance is located on the East end of the West Ada School District Training Center.
We are near the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine building and on the opposite end of the Renaissance High School
What about my children?
As a growing church plant, we’re building intentional rhythms that foster sustainability, community, and meaningful encounters with Jesus for the whole family.
Most Sundays, we meet in house churches where families worship and grow together in a home setting. On the last Sunday of each month, we all gather at our Meridian location for a full service. During that time, children ages 2 - 7yrs are checked in before service, join their parents for worship, and are then dismissed to enjoy their own special time of learning and fun.
What is the dress code?
You'll see everything from dressy to casual. Wear what makes you feel comfortable!
Are you affiliated with a Christian denomination?
No, we are not affiliated with a Christian denomination. We believe in spiritual accountability and have structured our church to include Overseers, Trustees, and Elders.
