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.
