I Am New…What are you all about?
Shiloh United Methodist Church
is a Christian Community
on the Growing Edge of Billings.
We partner with God to share the
Peace, Hope, Love and Joy
of Christ with
Everyone, Everyday, Everywhere.
We invite everyone who journeys with us to find their on-ramp of faith. For some this may be worship and prayer, others a small group and for others it might be serving the community. Our hope is that you continue to grow your faith while your with us by developing different aspects of your faith life.
Some basics to know before you arrive:
1. We invite all ages and people to join us in worship on Sunday mornings, and this means we know little ones may squeak and make noises, you may find yourself making joyful noises too.
2. We provide nursery care for our little ones who may not want to sit in worship the whole time. Nursery is available during both services.
3. Dress is casual at our church, so come as you are.
4. We love God, Jesus, and the world. This means we welcome all people to join us, and we mean it. We celebrate God’s love with people of any age, gender, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic status, or disability and invite all into the full life and membership of this congregation.
5. We invite you to contact us if you have more questions, Click Here to Email Us or give us a call at 406-656-0050.
Below you will find links to connect with us and we pray that God might use our Shiloh community to deepen your life of faith and relationship with God.
An easy on-ramp is worship and taking part in either a weekly Bible study between services or joining our pastor for our monthly Coffee with the Pastor after worship.
We live by this rule of faith in our lives:
BILLINGS METHODISTS’ RULE OF LIFE (Practices that Grow Us Closer to God): We believe a critical mark of being a Methodist is the daily practices we use to demonstrate our love for God and neighbor. Though each of the five churches is diverse in personality and make-up, we are unified in our commitment to live by this Rule of Life as we grow in and share our faith:
- We find time to connect with Jesus each day through prayer, Scripture reading, meditation, music, and/or other spiritual exercises.
- We meet regularly with a small group whose purpose is to help members intentionally grow in faith and accountability.
- We are committed to growing and sharing spiritual gifts – both our own and others’.
- We have meaningful relationships with people outside of the church and work to develop a friendship with someone who is different than us (race, religion, class, etc.)
- We follow Jesus’ call to servant leadership by serving in a mission/ministry at least one time a month and by sharing the resources with which God has blessed us.
- We have honest, open, and difficult conversations; we make room for questions, disagreements, and tension, with as much love and grace as possible, so that we might grow with and learn from each other.
- We cultivate sacred rhythms in our lives by including the practice of Sabbath. We strive to maintain a healthy balance of work, service, and rest.
We invite you to explore this section as you get to know Shiloh. Worship is a weekly part of our practice, and we invite you to learn more about us as you take your next steps too.
Sharing in personal growth with others is part of the Christian life, also known as Discipleship. We invite you to find a small group to read the Bible with, and study the faith regularly.
Prayer is central to the Christian faith as well as other acts of care. We invite you to learn more about our prayer, baptism, visitation, wedding, and funeral ministries.
We believe that once you know the love of Christ that people feel compelled to share this love. Each of us find those actions in different ways. We invite you to find a formal way to share that love and learn from the stories of others who work to serve.
Following Christ is a daily practice. We hope to provide you with resources that will guide this journey. Our sermons are uploaded weekly, as well as messages from our pastor and leaders.
Giving is a part of the Christian life. We invite those in our church to give of their gifts, resources and talents to support our faith community and the larger Billings Community.
