Our Vision
Yellowstone Presbytery – guided and sustained by Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and prayer — is a community rooted in the love of Jesus Christ
We will . . .
Gather Together for God’s glory and spiritual synergy*.
Equip and Encourage disciple-making congregations and leaders for living the Gospel . . . intentionally becoming more like Christ; ably sharing our faith; impacting our communities; worshipping in loving response to God; and mutually supporting and training leaders.
Go Out to join Christ in Christ’s mission in our communities, Montana, and the world . . . embodying and sharing Christ’s Good News; loving and serving, as we are commanded, in our words, actions, and relationships.
* Synergy: from the Greek syn-ergos, συνεργ?ς meaning working together.
Who We Are
We are 22 churches of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in southern and eastern Montana who, together, are called to meet, love, and live God through Jesus Christ.
As we disciple each other, and resource pastors, leaders and congregations, we are prayerfully working for the strengthening and the reinvigorating of our churches.
Together in common ministry and mission, we are presenting Christ’s love, justice and saving work across Montana.

Grant Thy servants, O God, to be set on fire with Thy Spirit, strengthened by Thy power illuminated by Thy splendor, filled with Thy grace, and to go forward by Thine aid.
Give them, O Lord, a right faith, perfect love, true humility.
Grant, O Lord, that there may be in us simple affection, brave patience, persevering obedience, perpetual peace, a pure mind, a right and honest heart, a good will, a holy conscience, spiritual strength, a life unspotted and unblameable; and after having finished our course, may we be enabled happily to enter into Thy kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
