A Church Building: Building a Home. Transforming a City.

May 5, 2019

In July 2020, our lease will expire without the option of renewal. This is an unprecedented hurdle for our body as our previous landlord sold our property to a party who has other plans for our location.

We’ve been a part of this community for over fifty years, and finding a new home is the first phase of our plan to continue local worship and community care in Missoula for the next fifty years. We appreciate your support as we seek to glorify God and care for our city.

GCF: Grizzly Christian Fellowship

Few times in our lives are more formative than our college years.

College demands our focus. For some it consumes our relationships, others our free time, and even more, our dreams. But often our faith is left undeveloped and undervalued. Yet Jesus' mission includes our college years, so we need to learn to fight for a better narrative.
