Blackfoot Valley Bible Church
Lincoln, Montana
Welcome!
Blackfoot Valley Bible Church in Lincoln, Montana began in the Community Methodist Church building in the summer of 1970. Frank and Betty Jackson with their seven daughters were invited to Lincoln to minister to a dwindling few. Frank preached the gospel for seven years, many came to Christ and the church was full. Problems developed, however, due to tension between the old-line Methodists and those who had begun coming through Frank's ministry. The latter eventually formed the Blackfoot Valley Bible Church.
The Lincoln church serves about 2,000 people in Lewis and Clark County, most of whom are somehow connected to the timber or mining industries, ranching, the local beef jerky plant, or retirement.
After many years as Mission director and secretary, Frank and Betty returned to Lincoln in January of 1991 to pastor the church. Ministry to children and youth has been very notable, with strong outreach through Vacation Bible School, AWANA, Sunday school and youth group. In addition to Sunday services, adult ministries include both men's and ladies' Bible studies.
Frank and Betty "retired" to the caretaker position at Camp Utmost in the spring of 1998. Shortly thereafter, Art and Connie McCafferty returned to Montana from seminary training in Florida to serve the pastorate of the Blackfoot Valley Bible Church.
We believe, teach and live our lives with the understanding that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that Jesus Christ died for our sins that we might have eternal life.
