Matt Winkler
Lead Pastor
Our pastor, Matt Winkler, and his wife, Sheri, moved to Bozeman in June of 2021 to serve at FBC. Previously they were missionaries in Uganda, East Africa for 16 years, helping in church planting and pastoral training. Matt has a love for preaching and teaching God’s Word as well as discipling young believers. His desire is to see the lost saved and the saved equipped to serve Christ. Sheri serves as the worship director at FBC. She also has a heart for mentoring young women and teaching women’s groups. Matt and Sheri have seven children.
What we believe:
1. THE BIBLE: We believe the scriptures of the Old & New Testament as being verbally inspired by God and inerrant and infallible in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and sole authority.
2. GOD:
We believe in one God eternally existing in one essence, yet co-equal persons, the Trinity: Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
3. JESUS: We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
4. THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. He is the life of the believer and He empowers the preaching and teaching of the Gospel.
5. PEOPLE:
We believe that mankind was created in the image of God, sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that human beings are born with a sinful nature and are thereby unable to do anything good to secure God’s favor.
6. SALVATION – We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again by the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God and heirs of eternal life. The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice and physically rose from the dead on the third day, and that all who believe in Him are saved on the basis of His shed blood. We believe that salvation is the free gift of God’s grace to all who believe, and that it is instantaneous and not a process.
7. HELL & THE DEVIL: We believe in the existence of a personal devil, who is still working in the world to destroy the souls of men and that he and all his angels and all who do not receive Christ as their personal Savior will eternally perish in the lake of fire.
8. THE CHURCH – We believe in the Local Church, whose mission it is to make disciples throughout all the world. Everything it does is guided by qualified leadership and supported by the wise stewardship of God’s people.
