CURRENT MINISTRIES

TAFT HOUSING PROJECT
Collister UMC recognizes the current housing crisis spreading throughout the Treasure Valley.  In response, our congregation built two units (3 bedroom 2 bath homes) of affordable housing on church property.  To accomplish this, Collister UMC partnered with LEAP Housing Solutions, a local non-profit working to solve the affordable housing crisis in Idaho.  Families moved into these homes in October of 2022.  See this News Stories for more Information.

Miriam's Song

The Mural is a depiction of Exodus 15. After Israel is set free from bondage and slavery in Egypt, the prophet Miriam leads Israel in a song of victory and gratitude to God.

Mission

This artwork was created by a woman of color, depicting a woman of color.  It is a reminder that the church is not only called to fight individual acts of injustice, we are called to dismantle systems of injustice, the way God dismantled the Egyptian system of slavery and oppression.
