History:

First Baptist Church Colstrip was a church plant of First Baptist Church Forsyth, Montana. They saw a need for a place for Baptists to Worship in Colstrip. Rev. E.L. "Dutch" Robertson was the pastor from 1975 until 1976.

The church called Rev. Andrew Goodwin as pastor in 1976. Andrew said, "that when he arrived the only members were him and his family as everyone that was there had moved on to other construction jobs." He went to the mountaintop and prayed the church into existence once again. The church was officially constituted on October 19, 1976. Rev. Goodwin served the church until 1979.
