HEALING IS THE HEART OF OUR MISSION
He heals, mends, and makes whole.
He stitches together the very fabric of our being.
He is the potter who restores the broken vessels into something beautiful.
He is Jehovah Rapha
the god who heals
______________________________________________
Rapha Church is a non-denominational house church in Caldwell, Idaho. We believe church is more than a service—it’s a family that gathers around Jesus.
Everything we do flows from our desire to follow Him faithfully, creating space for community, spiritual growth, and lives shaped by His presence.
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 regularly for worship, discipleship, prayer, and authentic community.
House churches are not a replacement for biblical church life—they are a return to it. This model reflects how the early church gathered in homes (Acts 2:42–47), sharing life together while growing in faith and mission.
Do you gather publicly?
Yes—while our primary rhythm is weekly house churches, we also gather quarterly in a public setting as one church family.
These quarterly gatherings are a time for unified worship, teaching, celebration, and connection across all of our house churches. Location details, directions, and logistics for these gatherings are shared in advance through our website and communication channels.
What about my children?
Children are a valued and essential part of our church family, and they are fully included in the life of the church.
Every Sunday, we gather in house churches where children participate alongside their parents in worship, prayer, discussion, and community. Rather than offering a separate children’s ministry, we intentionally practice a family-integrated approach to church life. This allows children to see faith lived out up close, hear Scripture taught, and grow spiritually by participating with the adults in their lives.
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.
