Yellowstone Presbytery has been a steadfast supporter of the camping ministry at Westminster Spires since 1936, providing vital funding for facilities and programs, dedicated volunteers to maintain grounds and open/close the camp each summer, spiritual leadership, donations to support scholarships, and most importantly, unwavering prayers.
The chapel was dedicated and gifted to the Yellowstone Presbytery in 1965 by the Crete Dillon and John W. Bowman family of Sterling, Illinois, to the glory of God and in remembrance of their son, Timothy Dillon Bowman, who died in 1956 at the age of eighteen. St. Timothy’s Memorial Chapel was constructed on a hillside six hundred feet above Georgetown Lake, at the ghost town of Southern Cross, near Anaconda, Montana.
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves
- to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
- to support the mission of the church worldwide,
- to work for justice and peace, and
- to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.
Yellowstone Presbytery supports the important work of campus ministries through generous grants that are based upon the unique needs of each program. Our commitment to helping young adults grow in their faith and become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ is unwavering, and we are proud to partner with campus ministries across the country in achieving this goal.
