Children
Children play a vital role in our services. The Children’s Moment is always the highlight of the service and features puppets, object lessons, and age-appropriate items that connect with the message for the day.
Children are then dismissed for the Sunday school area where they sign, play, and learn Bible stories.
Summer time is reserved for Vacation Bible School. Come back to this page for more information.
Church Camp
Church Camp – Flathead United Methodist Church Camp – holds a dear place in our hearts. Numerous members of the church serve on its Board of Directors. Our children experience God in a gorgeous setting. Lives have been changed as we serve and attend to our spiritual needs on location.
Church Camp is vital to who we are. Scholarships are available for any child or youth who would like to attend. One special Sunday in the spring is reserved to say “Thank you” and to lift up our Camping Ministry. Watch this site for more information.

Music
The Stevensville United Methodist Choir is full of enthusiasm, talent, commitment, and FUN! We know that for at least 65 years, and certainly a good deal longer than that, the SUMC singers have been making music together and sharing the message of God’s love and grace with their church family.
Our choir has embraced many styles of music from John Stainer’s God So Loved the World and Handel’s Messiah to pieces by John Rutter and Ola Gjeilo and travelled down the road of some heart-warming, foot-stomping bluegrass. And just to keep us all young, we are not afraid to dip our vocal cords into some contemporary praise music!
We are serious about our music, but the fun we have congregating, sharing our lives with each other, supporting our friends, and working together is an uplifting 1 to 2 hours a week that is cherished.
We offer an anthem every month. During Advent, we present a service of choir music called the Hanging of the Greens. Supporting our Lenten, Holy Week and Easter services with extra music is always a musically challenging and meaningful time.
I almost forgot to mention that we also throw in a bit of guitar, cajon or violin with our music. AND….we have a dedicated, sensitive, triangle aficionado who knows just when to add a little spice to a piece!
Rehearsal begins in September, and we perform through May each year. The SUMC Choir meets on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM in the Fellowship Hall. We sing for the 10:30 AM service on Sunday mornings.
If you would like to share God’s love through music with us, please consider joining the choir. We will welcome you with open arms and loving hearts!
