 Welcome
to the web site for the Bozeman United Methodist Church and to our community in Christ. Through
worship, education, ministry, and fellowship, we seek to follow Jesus and to
grow together in living our faith—at home, work, school, and play.
God has loved us beyond what we can
expect or deserve, so we try to live in response to that amazing love. We hope
you will be part of what we do, and we offer you a warm welcome, a chance to
worship and serve, and a place to belong.
We are called by God to experience, celebrate, and share through our actions the
love of God that comes to us in Jesus.
