Welcome to All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Whitefish – Columbia Falls. We have been a place for Episcopalians to gather since 1895. Today, in a time in which people are searching for meaning in their lives, we remain a place which proclaims justice, reconciliation, compassion and joy in a way which revolves fully around the grace of God and the unquestionable, uncompromising and unconditional love of Christ.
We are also in a curious time in our life as a parish. A year ago, our two historical congregations, St. Matthew’s, Columbia Falls and Holy Nativity, Whitefish, came together to form All Saints’. We knew that we would be more vibrant together and drawing on over a hundred years of presence in the northern Flathead Valley of Northwest Montana, we are defining our mission for ministry in the Twenty First Century. Needless to say, it is exciting to be in the middle of our formation process and there is no doubt that your own gifts of ministry would be deeply appreciated in our community.
If you would like to be part of us, you are more than welcome to join us in this pilgrimage. If you are new to the Episcopal Church, or somewhat unfamiliar with who we are, what we believe and what we proclaim, you are invited to inquire by attending our church or having a talk with me to gain additional information. We earnestly desire to not just be part of your life but have you an integral part of ours. Most new folks find our services easy to follow and in no time, the worship helps voice their own sense of spirituality.
Also, if we can be of any pastoral assistance to you, and you are new to the valley and may not know where to turn, please don’t hesitate in giving me a call. Our office number is 406-862-2863 and my cell phone is 406-250-1690. Similarly, if you would like us to hold either yourself or someone close to you in prayer, during our services, we would be pleased to do that for you.
Again, we would love to have you visit us at our remarkable new campus, in the woods on Conn Road, half way between Whitefish and Columbia Falls off Highway 40.
Faithfully yours,
The Reverend Canon Bradley S. Wirth
