Join us for a fun Narrate Family playdate at Lockey Park on June 1st from 2-3pm! Bring your kiddos of all ages, and enjoy a chance to chat with other parents. We’ll provide the drinks—just bring yourself and your little ones!
About once a quarter, we shut down our Kindergarten through 5th grade spaces and have them join us in the main auditorium for both Sunday gatherings at 9:00 and 10:45. Nursery and Preschool experiences will operate as usual, and we encourage you to utilize those spaces for your little ones. The point is to allow kids to see the rest of us worshiping, and for us to see the kids worshiping. We will have coloring boards, crayons, and be sure to have your kiddos ask the scattering table host in the lobby for a special treat - think choice of IZZE or Hot Chocolate!
We look forward to being in the main auditorium with you and your kiddos on Sunday!
At True North VBS, children will dive into hands-on Bible-learning experiences they'll see, hear, and even touch! From mind-blowing science experiments to fun-filled team-building games, we'll explore faith in ways that are not just exciting but also meaningful.

True North VBS isn’t just about learning—it’s about living out our faith in a way that sticks. It’s the kind of experience that will leave your kids with smiles, memories, and a deeper trust in Jesus.
Registration is now LIVE! Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity—spaces fill fast, and we want your child to be part of the fun! Cost is FREE - follow the link below to register! Program runs each day from 9:00am-noon. Email lexsey@narratechurch.org with any questions.
Join us for the 14th annual Helena Ales for Trails craft beer festival. Ales for Trails strives to contribute to the community of Helena by raising funds for the Helena Trail System. 2024’s event raised $20,000 for trails. The event is led by a consortium of community leaders from a variety of sectors. We’re proud to partner with local businesses, city and county government, and private citizens to host and sponsor Helena Ales for Trails. In addition to the myriad of people involved in planning, Helena Ales for Trails utilizes over 150 volunteers on the day of the event. Over the first 13 years we’ve raised over $223,000 for local trails, all which was distributed to Friends of Centennial Trail (Centennial Trail Project), Prickly Pear Land Trust (Peaks to Creek Project), Helena Parks and Recreation (Ascension Downhill Project & Park City Trailhead), Helena Trail Rider, the Deford Trail Corridor and the 2019 Whyte Addition to Mt. Helena City Park, and the Old Shooting Range Restroom Accessibility Project, the Limekiln Parking Area Realignment Project, and the Bureau of Land Management (Scratchgravel Hills Recreation Plan).
This year’s event will happen in Pioneer Park, located next to Lewis & Clark Library at the far southern end of the walking mall.
