For Such a Time as This...
This lonely, broken, beautiful world is the context in which First Presbyterian Church has been called to love God and our neighbors.
By worshiping together, by deepening roots in Christ and his Word, by building relationships that matter for faith, and by seeking extravagant ways to serve our community, we long to discover meaningful spiritual life, to taste authentic community, and to bear witness to a hope greater than ourselves. Call it life in Christ, life together, and life for others.
What if it's for such a time as this that we, all of us, have been invited to trust in Jesus together and to surprise Missoula with Christ's astonishing love?

This Sunday
Worship with FPC | July 13th, 2025 | Luke 6:1–11
This Sunday we continue our series Practicing the Way—inspired by John Mark Comer’s invitation to reorient our lives around the rhythms of Jesus. This week’s rhythm: Sabbath.
We live in a culture that treats rest like weakness and business like a badge of honor. But Jesus flips the script.
In Luke 6, Jesus heals on the Sabbath—and provokes the ire of the religious gatekeepers. Why? Because he understood something they didn’t: the Sabbath is for healing. It is for life.
Jesus declares himself Lord of the Sabbath, not to burden us with legalism, but to invite us into a deeper kind of rest—one that reaches beyond naps and vacations into soul-rest, restoration, and delight.
The invitation of Sabbath is not “do nothing,” but cease from doing in order to remember what is most true:
You are not what you produce. You are not what you earn. You are the Beloved.
Our rest is not in time—it is in Jesus. He is the Lord of the Sabbath, and our rest is not merely a window of time—it is a dwelling in Christ. In him, we find our soul-rest.
