Our Sunday School meets most Sundays in the Todd Center. This 2025-2026 Program Year, our Sunday School will gather at 9:45am each Sunday to have ample time for learning, arts and crafts projects, and time to get to know each other between our two Sunday services. Children from PreK through 5th grade are our target audience for Sunday School, but children slightly younger or older can still participate - just check in with the office to make sure we are equipped to support them!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Sunday School will resume on September 21st, 2025. We look forward to meeting in the Todd Center basement, that has been recently refurbished by some incredible volunteers.  

Raising children in the Christian faith doesn't just happen on Sunday mornings. Research has shown time and time again that the primary faith teachers for children are their parents and guardians. Here are some resources for integrating faith formation into your family's life outside of St. James. Our Sunday School teachers and Rev. Rowan can give you more ideas if you are interested!

Building Faith from Virginia Theological Seminary is an excellent blog and resource section to help parents and teachers grow faithful children.

Doing Good Together is a national non-profit that helps connect parents to resources and ideas for raising kids who know the importance of giving back to their community.

The United Thank Offering has many resources for parents and children to learn about gratitude and practice it together.

St. James has entered a partnership with Bozeman UMC, Pilgrim UCC, UUFB, and First Presbyterian to have all our kids attend the weekly youth group at BUMC. This group meets each Sunday from 6-8 pm and includes dinner, learning, fellowship, and fun for youth in 6th-12th grades. There are special events throughout the year, including an annual ski trip in February. Contact Rev. Rowan or Rin Stearns (the Youth Minister at BUMC) directly for more information. Contact Rin at rin@bozemanumc.org.

There is a Men’s Bible Study group that meets at the IHOP on N. 19th each Tuesday morning at 7:00 am. All who identify as men are welcome to attend for discussion, prayer, and fellowship. Just bring yourself! 

WEBS, Women's Ecumenical Bible/Book Study, welcomes all who identify as women and who value the perspectives of seekers and of believers from all Christian traditions.  From September 15- November 17, 2025, WEBS will meet Mondays from 9:30-11:00 AM. This fall we will be hosted at Bozeman United Methodist Church, and our study will be Comfort & Challenge: The Timeless Wisdom of Luke, Paul, & other Prophetic Voices, that is the RCL, Year C readings for the following Sunday.

To receive the door code, zoom link, and weekly handouts, RSVP to WEBS administrator Ann Schrader, aschrader54@gmail.com and to WEBS facilitator, Rev. Valerie Webster, vwebster587@gmail.com .
