Messiah Lutheran Church is a liturgical congregation that makes thorough use of Christ-centered Lutheran heritage in music, hymns, liturgy, the Church Year, ceremonial, and much else.  Our pastor is glad to introduce and explain this great heritage that proclaims Christ and Him crucified through the "whole counsel of God."  

The Divine Service of the Word and Sacrament is the center of our life together as the Lord's Church in this place. The Lord's gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation flow to us in the Divine Service as the Lord Jesus Himself is there, present for us according to His word of promise.  He then sends us forth into our daily callings in life (vocations) to serve Him through serving our neighbor, wherever He puts us.

In this challenging and rapidly changing region of Montana, we urge you to come and hear the changeless message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the faith that was once and for all delivered to the saints which we seek to deliver faithfully to you!

Those who attend church at Messiah attend in all styles of clothes — from their Sunday best, to jeans and sandals and everything in between.

From Holy Scripture, we believe that communing together presupposes oneness of doctrine and confession. Therefore, Messiah practices closed communion, which is the historic practice of the Christian church. It is prompted by love for the Word and God’s people. It does not deny that those not of our denomination are Christians, but doctrinal unity is central to the right reception of communion.

Members of sister LCMS congregations are invited to commune after introducing themselves to the pastor. If you belong to a church of a public confession differing from this one, or are not sure, or have no church affiliation, we ask that you refrain from communing until such time as we can learn God’s Word together, to endeavor to be of one mind and confession as our Lord wills for us to be to share the sacred meal that is the very image of unity.

For those who visit us for the service, we give thanks for your presence and pray that you are blessed by God’s Word, Christ Jesus, who promises to be among us.

“And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, ‘Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.’” ~ Mark 9:36-37

God’s Word is meant for all, without exception. That most definitely includes children—of all ages! All need to hear His Word, as He Himself testifies.

So, the answer to the question about how we feel about children in church? Absolutely BRING THEM with you!
