About Us
At an all church meeting, BUMC adopted a values and purpose statement. Three of those values are:
 
Every Person Is Sacred. We believe every person is created in the image of God and is of sacred worth. To believe otherwise is to be isolated from the world and from God.
 
Risky Faith. We take these risks to be intellectual and faithful, to build bridges with strangers of diversity, to be forward-thinking and still Biblical, and to be Methodist and more than Methodist.
 
Justice-seeking Community. We show God’s love to the world through actions that alleviate suffering and break down barriers in the world through service and justice.
 
An opportunity to live out these values is before us.
We are a Stephen Ministry Congregation!

Stephen Ministry is a lay caring ministry founded in 1975. It is used by 13,000 churches in over 170 Christian denominations throughout the world.  More than one-and-a-half-million people have had a Stephen Minister providing one-to-one Christian care during their tough times.  Those receiving care may be experiencing life challenges like divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness (their own or someone else’s), or other significant experience causing grief, loneliness, fear or anger.

Bozeman UMC became a Stephen Ministry congregation in 2014. At present, we have over 20 Stephen Ministers led by 4 Stephen Leaders. Since that time, we have cared for more than 50 hurting people.

This Sunday June 26th:
Our Christian Faith’s Response to Gun Violence

Gun violence is an issue that is impacting our country in devastating and difficult ways.
The sermon topic this Sunday can be difficult for some people to hear, including children, so please be advised that in the discussion about our response to gun violence that there is one graphic reference in the sermon to the shooting in Robb Elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas last month. In the service we will also be lighting candles for the victims of gun violence.
Join us as we explore our Christian faith’s response to gun violence and the ways we can be peacemakers and bridge builders that actively work to overcome a culture that often turns to guns as their answer to conflict.
 

Watch Sunday Worship Live at 9:30am on the Website!

Instructions for Text to Give
Text to Give, Simply text 406-530-8999 and enter a $Amount + the fund
(missions, general, building, UMCOR) you want to donate. You can give once or create a recurring gift!
 
To donate by text, a donor simply:
  1. Text the amount they’d like to give to your text-to-give number (e.g. $50).
  2. If a person has donated by text before, they’ll receive a text in response confirming that their gift has been received successfully and they’re done.
  3. If it’s the first time a person is donating by text, they’ll be sent a message that says, “It looks like you are a new giver; to begin: (link provided). It will be a link to the church’s online giving page. Clicking on the link they will be asked to supply their payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account). This payment source will then be linked with their phone number so that, in the future, all they will need to do is text in the amount. (They will not need to re-enter their payment information.)
  4. If the donor didn’t specify a fund by keyword, donations will automatically go to the default fund in Breeze. Example giving by keyword: $50 missions Note: Donors can only give to one fund at a time.

What’s Happening at YOUR Church?
 
This VBS invites children to pray as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:11; “Give us this day our daily bread.”
 
These words serve as a reminder that everything we have comes from God — and that it’s by turning to God in prayer that all of our daily needs are met.
 
At the center of the Food Truck Party is a special food truck called “On a Roll.” Here, Kids (or “Chefs”) will learn from the food truck’s Top Chef, along with DJ Cupcake (an adorable cupcake puppet), about the Daily Specials (Daily Learnings), which are lines from the well-loved prayer that teaches us to turn to God to meet our needs. Join us for loads of fun this summer!
Registration is Closed 6/16/22
