As a congregation we have a culture of asking hard questions about life and faith, looking at our history with honesty and humility, caring for each other and others in need, working towards justice and equality for all people, and living into the sacredness of all life on our planet.  We do this through weekly worship, music, reflection, prayer, and connection with each other.  We also do this through small groups, action teams, and in collaboration with many other faith communities and nonprofits in Missoula.  

Please join us in person or online via Facebook or YouTube at 10am every Sunday.  If you would like our weekly e-news, you can sign up here.

Land Acknowledgement

In the interest of truth and healing, we acknowledge that the Séliš and Q’lispé people have lived on and cared for this land for thousands of years.  As part of Western Expansion settlers claimed this valley, including the land upon which this church is built.  As witnesses to the historical and ongoing harm done by colonization to Indigenous peoples, lifeways, and the land, we commit to learning from the original peoples of this place, to building friendships, and to taking action to work toward a more just and equitable future.
