Great question! Think about what you like to do, how God has gifted you to serve His Church, and when you are available to serve and contact Bonnie Muth at (406) 586-3362 or bonnie.muth@journeyweb.net. Even if you can’t answer those questions, but you just want to help out, get in touch anyway! We take your desire to serve very seriously and pledge to you that one of our staff members or one of our ministry directors will be in touch with you to connect you with a serving opportunity that fits you. If you realize that what you are signed up to do isn’t working, we’ll help you find a place that does. At Journey Church you will find opportunities to serve your Church, the Community and the World.

Serve Your Community
Family Promise
Family Promise of Gallatin Valley Journey Church is a Family Promise partner in the Gallatin Valley. The Family Promise mission is to help low-income families achieve lasting independence and to redress the underlying causes of poverty and homelessness. Family Promise was founded on the belief that Americans are compassionate people who want to make a difference. Their promise has been to link those in need with those who want to help. Family Promise works to accomplish this mission through four program areas: Interfaith Hospitality Networks (IHNs) provide shelter, meals, and comprehensive support services to homeless families. Family Mentoring helps prevent homelessness by training volunteers to be advisors and advocates to low-income families. Just Neighbors, an interactive educational program, raises awareness of the root causes of poverty and homelessness as the first step in establishing community-based responses. Community Initiatives foster local IHN outgrowth programs, such as transitional housing, job training, childcare, and literacy. To serve on the Journey team with Family Promise, contact Adam Silverness at 406-600-6962. How Can You Help Family Promise? Journey will be hosting up to 4 families or 12 people 4-5 times per year for a week at a time at the Commons as a Host Congregation! How can you help? Volunteers provide a variety of services: cooking and serving meals, playing with children or helping them with homework, and staying overnight. Beyond providing lodging and meals, volunteers interact with the guests, treating them with respect and responding with compassion. About four to six times a year, for one week at a time, Volunteers from Host and Partner Congregations work at the Host Congregation facility (The Commons) to provide overnight lodging, meals (dinner, breakfast, and brown-bag lunch), and hospitality. Hosting rotates among the eight to thirteen Host Congregations in the program, that provide lodging for three to five families (up to 14 individuals) from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. the next morning. During Journey’s hosting week at the Commons you could sign up to help in many ways…as little or as much as you’d like! It’s really flexible. Sign up for as many volunteer shifts as you’d like! Bring a meal for our families at 5:30pm Be a dinner host and eat the meals with the families from 5:30pm-8:30pm Stay overnight in your own room at the Commons from 8:30pm-7:30am. This is a great time to get to know our families, relax and enjoy fellowship. Help setup the rooms for the week with sheets, towels and beds that are provided by Journey Cleaning up at the end of the week, washing sheets and towels and returning them to Journey Grocery shopping for breakfast and lunch items for the week with funds provided by Journey Be a part of the Journey Family Promise Volunteer Coordinating Committee! Every volunteer attends a monthly Volunteer Leadership Training! Please email Bridget Pitman for the next training date and time! To get involved, contact Adam Silverness at 406-600-6962. All volunteers must attend a free training seminar before participating. Other Volunteer Opportunities: There are many opportunities to get involved with Family Promise, here are just a few: Family Day Center Homelessness Awareness Job Searching Maintenance Meals and Overnight stay with host and partner congregations Moving Families Pet Care Tutoring Transportation Volunteers need not have a church or religious affiliation to become involved; we invite anyone who is interested in helping our less fortunate neighbors to become involved in this worthwhile program. All volunteers must attend a free three-hour volunteer training before working directly with the families. This training is held at various times throughout the year (check the home page of the website for the next scheduled session). Once trained, volunteers have an array of opportunities. If a volunteer has specific skills or talents they would like to share with families or the organization, we would be happy to accommodate the time and talents you are willing to share.
Love INC
Journey Church is a Love in the Name of Christ partner. Love INC mobilizes partner churches and their volunteers to find effective ways to serve individuals and families who find themselves in difficult circumstances and who need a helping hand. Journey’s ongoing contribution to the Love INC Personal Care Pantry, a resource that helps people with basic daily items, is men’s and women’s deodorant. These items can be dropped off at the Journey offices at The Commons during the week. Make a pit stop today!
About Gallatin County Love INC
Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC) was formed in 1995 by a few local Christian churches so that their members could have good opportunities to connect personally with needy neighbors and to serve them in tangible ways. Now Love INC numbers 40 partner congregations as Christians have learned to make use of this tool to meet and serve Gallatin County residents in need. Even though hundreds of volunteers are on the lists, sometimes it’s very hard for Love INC to find a person to help on a particular day. Many people in our community are waiting for a helping hand from a caring Christian! Can you respond?
Please contact Love INC to become part of the volunteer inventory:
