The Ways We Care for The Community
 
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.

We are a Family Promise Volunteer Host Congregation
About five times each year, for one week at a time, each host congregation provides a place to sleep, meals, and compassionate hospitality for up to four homeless families. Volunteers are the core of the Family Promise network. At each site, volunteers cook meals, socialize with guests, play with children and stay overnight. They also help care for the Day Center as well as fundraising activities and guest events.
Local agencies refer families to our network. All guests are screened by our professional staff to ensure there is no active substance abuse, risk of violence, or serious mental illness. Family Promise families work actively with our case manager as well as local social service agencies to find employment, childcare, affordable housing — allowing them to develop the skills they need to regain their independence, and keep it!

Missions

What is Missions? United Methodists continue to heed the lessons our founder, John Wesley, who talked about love of God and love of neighbor being hand-in-hand; living into what Jesus was teaching us.
 
Jesus said “Here’s what love of neighbor looks like: you saw me hungry and you fed me. You saw me thirsty and you gave me a drink. You saw me sick and you took care of me.” That is what love of neighbor looks like and those neighbors are in your neighborhood, community, state and all over the world.
 
Our church is deeply committed to combating homelessness, hunger, poverty, global health, education, disaster relief and social justice advocacy efforts. It is part of our Wesleyan DNA. All of these efforts to serve God also serve our neighbors and fulfill our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

What’s Happening at YOUR Church?

 
Hello Families of The Gathering Place:
Thank you all for your love and support with our program finally being open since October 17th, 2019. We have had a blast getting into the swing of things, creating relationships with families and of course loving on the kiddos. 
The staff have been creating lesson plans based off of our Creative Curriculum having learning segments about being at school for the first time, learning about our emotions, and of course the fall and winter season. There have been many arts and crafts related to the leaves changing, pumpkins (especially sensory play) reading about the weather and now moving into the winter season loaded with exciting activities. 
As of November 22nd, 2019 we have officially 22 staff members including 18 teachers, 2 cooks, an assistant director and director making one awesome team! Enrollment at The Gathering Place currently has all 56 spots filled and broken down there are 16 infants 0-12 months, 8 toddlers 12-24 months, 20 two’s 24-48 months, and 12 preschoolers 4-5 year olds! Our students are incredible and we are so thrilled to be a part of this amazing community.
We are very excited to start this journey with you. If you have any questions or want more information about our program please call 406-551-7215 or email katie@bozemanumc.org
