St. James Episcopal Church

About this church

St. James Episcopal Church offers Sunday worship at 8:15 and 10:15 a.m. in downtown Bozeman. The early service uses piano, while the later service features choir and organ and is also streamed online. Children's formation begins at 10:15 in the Todd Center. Coffee hour follows both liturgies, and the choir rehearses at 9:15 in the sanctuary. Youth group is listed Sunday at 6 p.m. at Bozeman United Methodist Church, so teenagers meet at a different church venue from the morning services. That location distinction is important for families planning an evening return.

Known as the stone church with the warm heart, St. James describes radical welcome as openness and acceptance across ability, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, culture, nationality, and ethnicity. Episcopalians began worshiping together in Bozeman in 1868, secured a church site in 1869, and completed the first St. James building in 1876. Today's ministries include altar and worship service roles, congregational care, formation, music, and community engagement, with volunteers scheduled for specific duties. A first-time guest wanting a quieter, piano-led liturgy can choose 8:15; someone seeking choir, organ, children's formation, or online access should choose 10:15. Families should use the Todd Center for children and confirm the separate BUMC location before taking teenagers to the 6 p.m. gathering.
