I would work with the officers of our fellowship, and our college presidents to make our schools be at the forefront of ministry preparation, have modern facilities we can be proud of, and change our role of being schools “helped by churches”, to schools equipping churches.

They rarely get invited over for dinner due to their family size, so they eat at the Costco Food Court often. Keith graduated from Baptist Bible College in 1998 and shortly after, God led the Harrington’s to Boise, Idaho. They served at Bridgepoint Church for 13 years ministering to students and families. In 2012, the Harrington’s planted Rockharbor Church in Meridian, Idaho in a public high school. God has grown the church and they currently have four services on Sunday. Thus far, they have seen many lives changed for Christ and just over 750 baptized. This summer Rockharbor will break ground on their new facility, which features a 1400-seat worship center. Six years has flown by and God has done an amazing work through a growing group of “Real Stinkin’ People.” At Rockharbor, we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take the Gospel seriously. Church planting is the heart of Rockharbor and in 2016 they were able to personally send out an autonomous local church with more than 300 people. Keith leads a church planting and revitalizing team called The City Network. With Idaho currently being the fastest growing state in the nation, there are not near enough churches to reach the 300,000 new residents the Boise community will receive by 2033. Keith and his team have a goal to plant and revitalize 100 churches in 15 years. People may be moving to Boise for our great city and climate, but we believe that through our great community of churches who are on mission they will meet Jesus. |
