WHERE TO GET STARTED?

A LIST OF OUR RECOMMENDED RESOURCES FOR CHRISTIANS

Welcome to the Recommended Resources page of Mission Save Montana!

Here, you’ll find a curated list of helpful resources to support you in your journey of faith and in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others.

We’ve handpicked these resources to provide you with tools, inspiration, and encouragement as you seek to grow in faith.

The primary resource should always be the Word, of course. The Bible is God’s Word to you; With only 3 chapters a day, you will read the whole Bible in one year.

1. Bible Study:
