First Presbyterian Church of Butte

MINISTRIES

Youth Activites

Children in Worship

We encourage children to remain in worship because kids learn to worship by watching adults worship. We understand that children have short attention spans and can be a bit squirmy at times, so we have established a Quiet Corner at the front of the sanctuary for kids to watch the service while they quietly entertain themselves with various activities. Kids of all ages from toddler to adult are invited to the Quiet Corner following our "Time for Young Disciples" during the worship service.

Summer Camp

Fun for kids entering grade 3 through high school happens at Westminster Spires, Yellowstone Presbytery's beautiful camp located near Red Lodge, MT. High school youth are encouraged to seek out summer employment as camp counselors, where they can teach their younger counterparts the joy of God’s love!

Presbyterian Women

“Presbyterian Women" (PW)

is an inclusive and caring community of women,

committed to working toward God’s promise

of wholeness for all people”.

PW at FPCB meets monthly for a meal, a Bible Study and a meeting. Check the church calendar for meeting dates. During the November FUN-Raiser, money is raised through activities, bake sales, etc.. PW uses the funds raised to support local social service agencies such as Safe Space, Action Inc., New Hope Clinic, the Food Bank and the Butte Rescue Mission.
