Welcome Billings First United Methodist Church Senior Pastor
Rev. Bill Barksdale

Greetings!

Thank you so much for visiting the website. My name is Rev. Bill and I am ALSO new to the church.  So I understand what you are thinking when you consider coming to a church for the first time.

I have been around the UMC a while, serving churches in Mississippi as an Elder from 1993-2021 and then I moved to Montana because I have always been a "mountains" person! 

I served in Missoula at Grace UMC for 2 years, and then at St. Paul's and Covenant UMC in Helena, MT for 2 years.  I am loving Billings and promise that you are in store for a real treat if you come and visit Billings First UMC. 

Please use this link to "plan your visit" to the church, so that I can know you are coming and will be prepared to meet you.
