Welcome to Narrate
What can you expect on Sundays?
Services: 9:00am & 10:45am
Every week we start with a handful of songs led by our exuberant, skilled band of musicians. One of our pastors teaches for 30 minutes. There’ll be more music, prayer, you’ll have the chance to take communion, and we’ll close with one more song. Gatherings are typically 65 minutes.

For the next four weeks starting in September, we’re going to explore what happens when we begin to trust God as generous. What changes when we believe that at the center of the universe is a generous God? What happens when we take Jesus’ warnings about greed seriously? How are we called to live as stewards? And what about the poor? Join us as we step into the practice of generosity—not as a guilt-driven obligation, but as a natural response to God’s abundant generosity toward us.
Our Mission:
Gather & Scatter
Our mission is to be a vibrant local church in Helena that helps Christ-followers follow, makes Jesus accessible to unchurched and dechurched people, and tells a story of common grace to the community at-large.
Get Involved
How can I connect? From day one we’ve abided by the principle that says, “If you start with relationships, you’ll never get to serving others, but if you start with serving others, you’ll get to relationships.” With that in mind, we’ve purposely created an imperfect relational model, namely, come serve with us and in time you will meet the kinds of people you care to get to know on a deeper level. To be sure, there are many “small groups” and deep friendships around Narrate, but we’ve made a point to allow them to emerge as a result of serving people together. We see the organization’s role as providing platforms upon which friendships can emerge.
We also value leaving space for people to hide. Some people visit a Sunday gathering eager to meet people, while others choose to hide. Those that choose to hide want to be the last in the door and the first out. Sometimes people need to exist this way for years before deciding they’re ready to connect. We value creating space for people to hide because we value creating experiences that allow people to rethink their core beliefs about life and God. All this means is that when you’re ready to connect, the culture is predicated upon you being an activator. This means you’ll need to be more invested in your need to form relationships than we are.
Connect with staff
We as a staff would love to meet with you for coffee, lunch, a walk, or just time to spend together.
Upcoming opportunities
If you’re ready to connect with Narrate and people in your community, we’d love for you to serve with us on Sundays by jumping onto one of our Sunday Teams (Set Up, Band, Hospitality, Kids, Tech, Tear Down) or by Scattering with us.
Giving
Narrate Church exists because our owners and members of our community decide to give their time and money. If you’d like to learn more about supporting Narrate through your time, talents, and treasures, we’d be thrilled to have that conversation.
Watch/Listen
Missed the gathering or want to check us out more? We post that Sunday’s sermon at 5:00pm the same day. We also post “Beyond Sunday” episodes Fridays at noon where Adam and Narrate staff provide thoughtful content to help you dive deeper into your life with Christ.
“Narrate brings it strong with an amazing opening band, free hot coffee and the best hospitality in the city, followed by Pastor Adam who, while having a vast biblical knowledge, makes the gathering feel natural and easy. If you have never believed in God a day in your life, you will feel at ease at Narrate, and if you have believed in God your whole life, you too will find that you love Narrate.”
