Billings Grace United Methodist Church

This is a safe community in which to explore your faith beliefs and doubts. This is a smaller congregation with an average of 70-90 in worship each Sunday. There are many retired people, several families, and a few young single people who are apart of the community. The congregation runs an after school program for a group of students at Rose Park Elementary, and works at the United Methodist Free Store housed at Evangelical United Methodist Church.

Rev. Susan Otey is the pastor of Grace United Methodist Church. She is a graduate of Iliff School of Theology and has been at Grace for the past 6 1/2 years. Susan works to create a worship experience where each person can experience God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and feel the love and the challenge in that connection. Susan guides the congregation to connect more deeply with:
*GOD through prayer, scripture, and silence
*EACH OTHER through sharing our prayers and small
group ministries
*OUR NEIGHBORS by serving with the after school
program, in the Free Store, or connecting with the people
who live around us

WORSHIP, a time to experience God/Jesus/Holy Spirit through scripture, music, prayer, silence and connection happens each Sunday morning from 10:15am-11:15
There is a DISCUSSION GROUP that meets on Sunday mornings at 9am in the Fireside room (done the hall on the right as you enter the front doors) to talk about scripture. Each week the group reads a passage and looks at that passage in its historical context, and discusses how that passage speaks each person.
PRAYER, a time to develop a connection to the holy happens with Susan on Mondays from 4:45am-5:15 and on Thursdays from 6am-7. This is a directed time of connection, both listening for God and sharing with God.
FOLLOW FAITHFULLY groups meet after worship on the first Sunday of the month for an hour. They discuss the sermon, what they heard, and how they want to respond in the coming weeks.
