Our church began as a gathering of believers from farming families from all corners of Chouteau county, meeting at the county seat of Fort Benton in the mid-1950s. Early on, our leadership had some special connections with the Montana Wilderness School of the Bible, a relationship maintained to this day, as evidenced by the number of our young people attending retreats, church camp and choosing to do their one-year Bible school following high school graduation. While we have grown beyond a gathering of farming families, including members of our community at-large as well, equipping believers with theologically-sound doctrine continues to be a strong value of CBC.
