Our Story

Over 40 years ago, Ken and Connie Wilde packed up their life in Portland, Oregon, moved to Boise with three kids and a dream—to love and serve the Treasure Valley. What started as a few families meeting in a living room has grown into a vibrant church family, with thousands calling Capital Church their home.

Through worship, meals, small groups, prayers, and a lot of life lived together, we've seen God's heart for this valley over and over again: Jesus is for the people. Every background. Every story. Every generation.

Today, under the leadership of Krist and Kelly Wilde, that mission is more alive than ever. Together, they’re raising their energetic family of seven kids—and leading Capital with the belief that the best days are still ahead.

At Capital Church, we believe Jesus came to break down the walls the world builds up. His kingdom is wide open—to the misfit and the high flyer, the ones who have it together and the ones who don’t. No one is outside His reach.

In a world desperate for hope, we carry the best news: Jesus is King. Evil has been defeated. You belong in the family of God because of what Jesus has already done. And we’re here to live that good news out loud—for all the people.

We reject the world’s exclusivity of who's in & who's out. This vision Jesus offers to the people is earth shattering: no one lies outside the range of His kingdom of love. Not the misfit, not the poor, not the high and mighty, not the simple, not the sophisticated. All the people are included in Jesus’ lavish gift-giving celebration, redefining power to the people. He is for all the people. The kingdom of Jesus is committed to transforming those who are powerless and those who are powerful. Jesus gave up his life to rescue the weak and the powerful among us. This Kingdom is for those who think they're okay and even for those who know they're not. 

What We Believe

    We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples after His resurrection. (1 Corinthians 15:14; Romans 4:25)
