The Helena Farmers’ Market is the longest-running market in the state of Montana. Celebrating its 48^th birthday in June 2021, the market is THE Saturday morning event for the community, and winner of Best of Helena in the event category for 2019! Today the market stretches two full blocks in downtown Helena, drawing over 350 Montana vendors rotating through the season. Local farmers, artisans, food vendors and others bring their Montana-made products downtown for the local Helena community to see and purchase. While they browse, shoppers enjoy the serenade of local musicians and smell the fragrant aroma of fresh floral arrangements and kettle corn. Come join in the community fellowship at the Helena Farmer’s Market.

Church, when you hear the word what comes to mind?  We think about Gathering and Scattering.  We gather on Sundays to begin conversations around topics that are relevant to you and your everyday lives. We strive to create experiences intended to engage and challenge – no matter what you believe about God, Jesus, and the Bible.

We’re honored to gather at Grandstreet Theatre in downtown Helena, located at 325 N. Park Ave. You can also learn more about The Grandstreet Theatre Company by visiting their website grandstreettheatre.com.

Sunday gathering times are at 9.00am & 10.45am.

What should you expect at a Sunday experience?  Every week we start with a handful of songs led by our excellent band of musicians. After about 15 minutes of music, one of our pastors teaches for 35 minutes and we almost always conclude with another song.  Our gatherings last for 60 minutes. Great coffee and tea are free and available to everyone in attendance.

Narrate Kids provides age-appropriate, fun and engaging experiences for infants (6 weeks old) thru 5th graders.

Scattering is born of our calling and desire to matter, to narrate God’s story to our community by the way we serve. We’re serious about being the kind of the church that exists for the benefit of its non-members… to the extent that the most ardent critic of Christianity would be bummed if we suddenly ceased to exist. We seek to make this happen both by validating the opportunity to serve people in our everyday, organic lives as well as by coming together once every month to serve on a large-scale, community-wide level.  We call these community-serving events “Scattering” opportunities.

Open space has been proven to increase property values, reduce erosion, and protect air and water quality. A multitude of recreational opportunities abound in open spaces and agricultural lands preserve a cultural heritage as well as feed the citizens of our world. The Prickly Pear Land Trust is committed to preserving, protecting and promoting open space throughout the Prickly Pear Valley and adjoining lands.
