A North End Christian church has merged with downtown Boise’s Capitol City Christian Church and will move into the latter church’s historic building at 615 N. 9th St., next to Boise High School.
The Capitol City church, with a congregation of about 50 people, last year approached Hill City Church, which meets in rented space in a shopping center at 2590 N. Bogus Basin Road, about merging. The merger took effect Jan. 1.
The two congregations are meeting at Hill City while renovations are made to the Capitol City church building. That building was built in 1910 as the First Christian Church and later housed the Central Christian Church before Capitol City Christian.
The building is a registered historic landmark with seating for more than 500 people. “With all of the renovations, the vision is to restore the original beauty of the building and set it up for ministry use the next 110 years,” Hill City says on its website.

Matthew Clark of Cameron Investments is seeking a rezoning to allow for construction of a seven-story mixed-use development with apartments at 1522 W. State St., now home to a gas station and convenience store, where downtown and the North End meet.
The first floor would be commercial space. The second floor would have parking. Floors 3 through 7 would have residential space. The project would have about 100 apartments, including affordable, workforce and market-rate housing.
The requested change would take the property from PC-D (pedestrian commercial with downtown design review overlay) to C-5DD/DA (central business district with downtown design review overlay and a development agreement), which the developer says would not limit density and therefore would best fit the project.
The Boise City Council is scheduled to consider the rezoning at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 2. Attend in person at Boise City Hall, 150 N. Capitol Blvd. or virtually at cityofboise.org/virtual-meetings.
