Thank
you for your interest regarding the use of the Big Sky
Chapel for your wedding ceremony.
For years, a permanent place of worship was only a dream for
the residents of Big Sky.
The need became increasingly apparent with the growth
of the Meadow Village and surrounding area.
In 1993,
a group of leaders organized a fund-raising campaign to
transform this dream into reality.
The community wholeheartedly supported the ambitious
project, and, with a gift of an appropriate site,
the Chapel construction was underway.
Exactly
one year after breaking ground, the completed Chapel was
dedicated on Mother’s Day, 1999, in an ecumenical
ceremony. The participating clergy- Catholic, Episcopal,
Lutheran, Jewish, and Christian Fellowship-represented the
diversity of faiths of our worshipping community.
Built
of rustic log and stone, the Chapel was designed by Steve
Coffey, a local architect, and is a harmonious addition to
the Montana countryside.
As you enter the sanctuary, your focus is drawn to
the panoramic view of Lone Peak Mountain through the massive
log-framed window behind the altar. Members of the community
have donated all of the 100-year-old oak pews.
David Fjeld, a Bozeman artist created the stained
glass for the windows depicting mountain wildflowers and
wildlife. These
works of art have also donated.
The
Chapel is a unique place of worship representing the highest
aspirations of our community.
The Chapel’s existence stands as a result of those
who unselfishly volunteered their skills, energy, time, and
financial support.
If
you wish to make your wedding celebration a part of the
heritage of the Big Sky Chapel, we welcome your application.
