Caution

Assessment

Ten Mile Christian Church is an Independent Christian Churches congregation in Meridian, ID. Address in batch was incorrect — actual location is 3500 W Franklin Rd (not McMillan Rd). Led by Pastor Henry Boyd. The Independent Christian Churches / Churches of Christ (Restoration Movement) tradition emphasizes New Testament patterns, believer's baptism, and congregational autonomy. Generally conservative on core theology. Biblical teaching and kids ministry noted. Need to verify men's ministry and theological specifics locally.
