Cathedral of the Rockies, also known as the Cathedral of the Rockies First United Methodist Church, is a United Methodist church located in the historic North End district of Boise, Idaho, United States. [1] The church is the largest United Methodist Church in Boise, Idaho, the largest in the Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist denomination, and was the first Methodist church in Boise, founded in 1872. [2]
In 1984, the cathedral served as the location for Senator Frank Church's funeral. [3]
In June 2020, the church announced that it would remove its stained-glass window featuring Confederate general Robert E. Lee. The image had been under discussion since 2015 and a decision was made following the murder of George Floyd. [4] The church removed the window and replaced it with a stained-glass window depicting African-American bishop Leontine T. Kelly in 2021. [5]
