Our Church in Action and Fellowship

The church is very active all week long with many activities deepening our life with Jesus Christ. Being the only downtown church in Montrose, the Montrose United Methodist Church also hosts many meetings during the week. Boy and Girl Scout troops are sponsored by the church.
