We are a community of middle school students who are developing a relationship with Jesus, while  gaining self confidence, belonging and independance and having a blast with new friends and adult mentors. As a community, we live the L.I.F.E. together by Loving God & Others, Investing in People, Faithfully Serving andEngaging the World. We celebrate God’s Creation through epic outdoor adventures, and events like like "destination unknown",  winter retreat,   service projects, life skill development,  and so much more! Everyone is welcome to come as you are. Our students are from all backgrounds, interests and walks of life. You are welcome and loved here. We meet weekly September through May and throughout the summer for special connection events, mission projects,  camps & retreats and fun!

Wednesdays 6 - 8 pm at Belgrade Alliance Church 
Come early for free food @ 5:30

Our Anchor middle school students are partnering with the Salvation Army this year and have a goal to bless 15 kids in our community with a bright and merry Christmas. To help raise funds for this effort, we are having a bake sale on Sunday Decemer 6 before and after the service.  Anchor students & parents, check your email or BAND, or talk to Millie for more information about this opportunity!

For our church family, we need your help to make this happen. You are invited to come to our bake sale on Sunday December 6. Students will have tasty treats for you to purchase by donation. All proceeds will be used to buy gifts for children in need. If you won’t be here that Sunday, but still want to donate, connect with Millie Veltkamp or any member of our Anchor community. Thank you for helping us make Christmas a bit brighter for kids and helping our students learn to love others first.

Snowcraze 2027 is a winter retreat for middle and high school students to deepen their relationship with Jesus and their friends. This year, we are digging into the Life of Joseph. Joseph’s life shows that God’s purposes are at work whether life feels warm and bright or cold and dark. Betrayal, slavery, prison, and promotion were all part of God’s plan.

What to Expect:
Engaging teaching from dynamic speakers | High-energy worship sessions | Epic snow tubing and outdoor winter fun | Games, small group discussions, and plenty of hot chocolate | Time to connect with friends and make new ones

Don’t miss this incredible weekend designed to challenge your faith, strengthen friendships, and make unforgettable memories in the heart of winter! Open to all current 6th - 12th grade students. Talk to Pastor Charles or your youth leader for more information.

Every Wednesday before the Anchor, we provide a meal of soup, salad & bread for students and their leaders. In order to make that happen, we need help with soup! Each week we need to crock-pots of soup, chili or somethign similar that is easily heated and kept warm in a crock-pot for our volunteers to serve.  If you are able to signup, even a couple times during the school year, that would make a big difference.

Soup can be brought early for us to warm up, or hot and ready to enjoy  by 5:15 PM on the  Wednesday you signup for. Thank you for your enerosity!

Hello there! What can I say except my life has been changed forever! I met a king who died for me. But get this, He came back to life! Conquering death once and for all! Absolutely insane! The king has called me here to BAC all the way from Ohio. I grew up as a homeschooler who loves stories, games, music, and the great outdoors. Since moving to Montana, I’ve grown closer to Jesus, attended college at MBC, married my beautiful wife, Shaina, and became a dad of two boys! I also really like books, let me know if you have any good recommendations.  Connect with Charles at youth@belgradealliance.com

I wake up each day in awe of our amazing God, who loves me so much that he sent His son Jesus to claim victory over death to save me from my sinful self. I am blessed to serve here at BAC by discipling children, students and  their families, while supporting our outstanding team of volunteers. I have worked in children’s ministry in various capacities for over 20 years.  I am a simple person. I don’t get excited about material things, and value experiences over things. Moments that take my breath away are what I treasure. Time outside hiking, camping,  kayaking  &  traveling on mission, are how I spend my free time.  I am a life changed by Jesus.
