Celebrating YTI’s Community Partners

August 6, 2026 | Dr. Jay T. Smith

Luke 10:27 reads, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” In speaking with the young legal expert, Jesus is affirming to him this is what it means to inherit eternal life.

Far too often, those of us who follow Christ don’t fellowship with those who are our neighbors in the world. One of the great privileges of being in Bozeman, Montana is being around creative people—musicians, artists, dancers, composers, choreographers, authors, playwrights, and actors. It has been the privilege of YTI to host and sponsor many of these creative arts organizations in our facility. More importantly, we’ve had the opportunity to meet and even befriend many of these incredibly talented and creative men and women. In the ensuing years, we’ve been able to share meals together and become true friends. More importantly, we’ve been able to share the deeper meanings of faith in life.

Our community partners are everything to us. We support each other. We need each other, and we help each other. In this issue of Inscribed, you will hear from some of our most outstanding partners: Opera Montana, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, Bozeman Actors Theatre, and Raison D’être Dance Project. Next to our church partners, these are the best partners we could ever have—and to them we say, with all of our love in Christ, THANK YOU!
