St. Timothy's Chapel, an ecumenical ministry above Georgetown Lake, is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church U.S.A.
The chapel was dedicated and gifted in 1965 by the Crete Dillon and John W. Bowman family of Sterling, Illinois, to the glory of God, and in remembrance of their son, Timothy Dillon Bowman, who died in 1956 at the age of eighteen. St. Timothy's Memorial Chapel was constructed on a hillside six hundred feet above Georgetown Lake, at the ghost town of Southern Cross, near Anaconda, Montana.
Harrison Ray Anderson D.D. of Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago was summer pastor for ten years, followed by Dr. Joseph McCabe, president emeritus of Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Cal DeVries D.D. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The summer ministry is made possible by Sunday offerings, wedding fees, gifts from friends of the Chapel, and volunteer assistance from committee members and others.
The violinist is Prof. Gene Andrie, who for 30 years has been on the faculty at the School of Music at the University of Montana in Missoula as a teacher, symphony orchestra conductor and concert artist.
St. Timothy's summer Music Festival offers concerts in the chapel to residents and tourists of the Georgetown Lake area and nearby cities in a superb acoustical setting with a spectacular view of the Pintlar Mountains and Georgetown Lake.
