Salmon River Community Church was founded in 1959 as a non-denomination community church. Attendance for our worhip services averages between 65-100. These numbers reflect both our members and regular attending non-members, as well as our kids.
Our little town of Riggins is surrounded by a picturesque backdrop of deep mountain ccanyons with kboth the Main and Little Salmon Rivers flowing nearby and the snake River just to the west. Riggins is know as “The Whitewater Capital” of Idaho. Our mountains offer abundant recreational opportunities and are also abounding with a wide variety of wildlife. This being said, we are a tourist magnet. We are located 150 miles north of Boise and 110 miles south of Lewiston. Riggins itself boasts on in-town population of roughly 400, but provides services for about 2,000 which includes those who live beyond the city limit signs.
