ABOUT

Family Foundations

Family Foundations is for those who are married, married & parenting, single parenting, or anything in between.

Our desire is to see families place Christ as the center of the home and purpose to fight against the adversary. There is no denying that the family unit is being attacked and we must fortify the walls to protect what Satan wants to destroy. Every family faces challenges and trials and you are not alone.

Together let’s seek to strengthen our walk with Christ, our spouse, and our children daily. Join us Sunday mornings at 9:30 as we look to the Bible for instruction to Fortify our Family Foundations.

WE'VE BEEN THERE AND CAN HELP

Jason and Kristy Starner

Hello and Welcome to the Family Foundations class.  We are the Starner’s.  I, Jason, grew up in Alaska and moved to Idaho when I was 14.  Kristy has lived in Idaho her entire life and is a true “native” Idahoan at heart.  We grew up ½ mile from each other and met riding the school bus to high school.  Church was a part of both our lives growing up as far as attendance but not in  practice.  I had made a profession of faith when I was 11 and Kristy did when she was 15.  We were married in 1993 right after graduating high school.  The beginning of our marriage proved much more difficult than we could have imagined.  Five years in and we were separated, and divorce was looming BUT for the grace of God!  Through the love and counseling at TreasureValley Baptist along with the prayers of our families, the Lord miraculously rebuilt our marriage.  

Clinging to those earlier professions, we both struggled for many years with doubt.  It was after all this, we both realized neither of us had a personal relationship with Christ.  It was at a 4th of July conference in 2000 with Dr. Ruckman that Kristy realized she needed to completely surrender to Christ.  I on the other hand settled it during Bro. Ring’s message in 2005.

Before teaching the Family Foundations class, we worked with the middle school youth group for over 15 years.  Middle schoolers and the ministry were an integral part of our lives and our children’s lives.  We have raised two adult children and currently have one teen at home. Treasure Valley Baptist Church has been our home since 1998.  

We look forward to being able to minister to families and are excited for what Jesus Christ can accomplish in other Christians lives as well.  Some of us have a little more cracks in our vessels than do others, but the cracks allow Christ’s light to shine through to all.

ABOUT

CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday school is something that started in the 1780's to give working and homeless children the chance to be educated. With the rise of public education Sunday school has adapted a new role - giving children their first looks through the bible

Through timeless Bible stories, our teachers work to inspire character, and a Christian worldview in our children. Each class is focused on a specific age with lessons tailored for the child's development.

With dedicated teachers and years of experience - Sunday school is a fantastic resource to parents wanting to further their children's Christian education.

        ABOUT

        NEWLY-WEDS

        The Newlyweds Sunday School class is for couples that have just gotten married through five years. We are a group of young couples who are seeking the Lord in our marriages and desiring to raise families to the glory of God. In class we hear messages about family, but also about our personal relationship with Jesus Christ, seeking to become "rooted and grounded in love." (Ephesians 3:17) This is a great place to connect with other couples who are in the same stage of life....just beginning a life of commitment to one another and to Jesus Christ.

        Each week before class we have an open time of fellowship with coffee and breakfast! Especially if you have little ones, we know how hard it is to get out of the house and make it to Sunday School on time, much less have time to eat breakfast! Please come and make some new friends!

        Besides our Sunday school, we also have periodic group activities, to further facilitate the opportunity to spend time with other Christian couples. We have had scavenger hunts, game nights, BBQs, Christmas parties, bowling parties, and more! Come get connected and see what's in store for this year!
