About

Church Vision & values

We are a people who have experienced freedom in the love of Jesus and are committed to letting the world experience this love for themselves. We are a place where the broken hearted can find hope, the rebels can find peace, anyone can find purpose, and all are treated with dignity as image bearers of God.

Meeting People Where They’re at

Zootown Church began when Pastor Scott Klaudt and his wife Jenny had the vision to meet people where they’re at - like Jesus does. Jesus doesn't expect you to change for him to meet with you, he is the change that comes to meet with you. He doesn't sit on a hill waiting for you to come to him, he comes to you wherever you are at. Pastor Scott and Jenny believed this so strongly, that they started this church in a coffee shop. To engage the community with the love of Jesus in their everyday lives, with their favorite drink - coffee.

Introducing People to a Person

We want people to know that we are not giving you more religion. That is the last thing this world needs is more religion. Zootown Church doesn't exist to give more information about Jesus or more knowledge about Christianity. It's sole purpose is to introduce you to the person of Jesus Christ, because he is the only one who can change the hearts and minds of men for the things of God. We are not here to lead you to us, although we are your friends - we are not your saviors. When you walk out of Zootown Church you are not making a decision about a church or a message, but about a person. We are an imperfect Church but we know the perfect one!

Ministries

Zootown Kids

Zootown Church believes that our kids are the most important ministry we have. Our Zootown Kids area has been renovated specifically with children in mind. With inviting atmospheres, hands-on learning opportunities, singing and music, games, and biblically-based messages, children of all ages will have a way to learn how much Jesus loves them. Child care is available at all Sunday services. Zootown’s kids volunteers have been interviewed, background checked, and trained to provide the best possible experience for your child.

Benevolence, Counseling, and Special Ministry Request Form

The purpose of the General Benevolence Fund is to meet people's basic needs on a short-term, interim basis (90 days or less). This Benevolence fund also oversees the distribution and allocation of funds to Local and International Mission partners and Parachurch ministries. The Benevolence Fund is intended for two primary purposes: a source of last resort, to be used when the family or individual requesting assistance has explored all other possibilities of help from family, friends, savings, or investments; or a source of spiritual guidance and growth that may include counseling, spiritual consultations, or investment into the Kingdom of God in Missoula and beyond.

Jesus said to “love God and love people”. But how do we actually do that? Checking-in and Listening to Jesus are two ways the Groups at Zootown Church learn and practice this within community. Our Groups are as unique and diverse as the people that make them up; so whether it’s a biking, hiking, book study, dinner table, brewery sampling, board games kind-of group, you are invited to share in this heart-to-heart connection with others and with God.
