Big Sky Resort Ministries

Brad Lartigue, Resort and Collegiate Chaplain Minister for Big Sky Resort Ministries, has roots that run deep in the community, work he believes is an extension of the local church community. His three-year term as an outdoor minister with Yellowstone National Park and Big Sky turned into decades and by this coming fall, Lartigue will have been a part of the Big Sky community for 33 years.

In addition to leading Outdoor Church worship services on Lone Mountain, Lartigue is the original founding board member of Big Sky Chapel, “paid his dues” working in the Big Sky Ski Rental Shop for 12 years, has volunteered with Big Sky Ski Patrol for seven years, was on the committee that made the BASE Community Center a reality, is chaplain for the Big Sky Fire Department (that’s after serving as an EMT/Firefighter for 15 years), is a part-time school bus driver and custodian at Big Sky School District and offers swim lessons through his program, Lartigue Aquaman Swim School. He’s also an Iron man triathlete and much of his work is featured in a book titled Servants on the Slopes by author Skip Schwarz. When it comes to his drive for mentoring, Lartigue is inspired by the passage Luke 2:52 that states, “Jesus grew in Wisdom, Stature, and in favor with God and Mankind.”
