Hill City Church

What Hill City Church does

Hill City Church is a non-profit Christian church headquartered in Boise, Idaho, founded in 2018 as a relaunch of a multi-site campus. It operates two physical campuses: a Downtown Boise location at 615 N 9th St offering three Sunday services (9:15 AM, 11 AM, and 5 PM) and an East Campus at Dallas Harris Elementary (3302 S Barnside Way, 10 AM Sundays) launched on April 5, 2026. The church is led by Lead Pastor Josh Branham and an elder board, with a staff of 38 spanning pastoral, worship, production, youth, kids, and operational roles across both campuses.

The church's core offerings include weekly worship services, Life Groups for discipleship and community, age-segmented programs (Kids from nursery through 6th grade, Youth for junior high and high school, Young Adults, and Men's/Women's ministries), a structured baptism pathway, a Partner Program requiring commitment to serving, attending, giving, and group involvement, and an original music ministry (Hill City Music). Teaching content is distributed via YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcast. Operations run on the Nucleus church management platform, which powers the website, registrations, events, and giving. The church maintains a network of 20+ missions partnerships spanning local Boise ministries (Boise Bible College, Cru, Intermountain Church Planters Association, Youth Dynamics, and others) and global organizations (Frontiers, Josiah Venture in Latvia and Romania, Light Africa, Pioneer Bible Translators, Wycliffe, and a Philippines church plant).

Hill City pursues a campus-to-plant multiplication strategy: the 2024 Garden City campus was spun off as Evergreen Church in September 2025, and the East Campus is slated for autonomous status in 2027. Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings; no fees are charged for services or programs. In 2020, the church merged with Capitol City Christian Church to consolidate into its current downtown location.
