Groups of Hope

Hope's congregation is filled with amazing groups that do various work for the church

and the community. Scroll down to learn more about our groups!

Creation Care Team

Hope’s Creation Care Team (CCT) is a Hope Lutheran ministry team dedicated to the sacred vocation of earth stewardship. This ministry maintains a website hopescreationcare.com to help you make a difference and leave the world a better place than it would have been without you. CCT members are advocates of creation caring actions, local and global. The CCT website, which is updated monthly, provides a mix of practical information, calls for all levels of action, and speaks of the group's faith. Though CCT is sponsored by Hope Lutheran Church of Bozeman, CCT's recognizes that their mission is that is greater than one group. They seek to work with others in this stewardship and believe, as Jonas Salk said, “Our greatest responsibility is to be good ancestors.”

Coffee & Conversation

If you are simply looking for fellowship with no agenda, coffee hour is held every Tuesday from 10-11 am in room 123 at the church. All are welcome. We will have the coffee hot and ready for you!

Bible Study

Each Wednesday Hope holds a Bible Study Group to look at the Scripture texts that will be read at the upcoming Sunday services. Dick Deschamps, LPA, facilitates the discussion on the text for the week. We enjoy discussing the upcoming text and seek to understand how these ancient words apply to our lives today. No expertise in the Bible is required - just an inquisitive mind and a heart open to how the Holy Spirit may speak to you through the Scriptures.

Interfaith Quilters

The interfaith quilters is a group of people that believes in sharing their time and talents. They create quilts that will be sent all over the world through Lutheran World Relief and locally to The Salvation Army, Haven House, Gallatin County Sheriff's Department, or other local families in crisis, as needs arise. The steps involved in completing the quilt are layering, pinning, tying, and sewing the edges for a strong finished product. Due to the volume of quilts they produce, they do no machine or hand quilting. By simplifying the process they produce 300-400 beautiful, utilitarian quilts each year.  The quilters meet for 2 hours each week on Monday afternoon. Anyone is welcome to join - no experience needed!

Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Prayer Shawl Ministry of Hope Lutheran provides hand made prayer shawls and/or lap robes to be presented to members or friends of the church. These are knitted or crocheted with love and prayers for someone in need of comfort due to illness, bereavement or other special need. Anyone may contact a member of the church staff or a ministry team member if you know of someone in need, and the prayer shawl team will work on its delivery. Most of the group's work is done at home, but the prayer shawl team meets once a month to work together and turn in completed shawls to be stored at the church. Upon completion, each shawl is blessed in a special ceremony.


The prayer shawl team meets the 4th Tuesday of each month from 1:30 to 3:00 pm.

Advocates for an Inclusive

Diverse Church

The Advocates for an Inclusive and Diverse Church (AIDC) is a Hope ministry team dedicated to helping Hope become a more welcoming and inclusive congregation to all, with a special commitment to LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual) and BIPOC (black, indigenous and people of color) people who are often marginalized by society. AIDC advocates for these people as they provide educational opportunities for members of Hope, grow in offering radical hospitality to all, partner with other faith communities and the Bozeman community, and communicate their mission of inclusivity within and beyond the walls of Hope.
