Abstract: Let $A$ be a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix, which is not of finite or affine type. Let $mathfrakg$ be the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra over a commutative ring $R$ with $1$. We construct an infinite-dimensional group $G_V(R)$ analogous to a finite-dimensional Chevalley group over $R$. We use a $mathbbZ$-form of the universal enveloping algebra of $mathfrakg$ and a $mathbbZ$-form of an integrable highest-weight module $V$. We construct groups $G_V(mathbbZ)$ analogous to arithmetic subgroups in the finite-dimensional case. We also consider a universal representation-theoretic Kac-Moody group $G$ and its completion $widetildeG$. For the completion we prove a Bruhat decomposition $widetildeG(mathbbQ)=widetildeG(mathbbZ)widetildeB(mathbbQ)$ over $mathbbQ$, and that the arithmetic subgroup $widetildeGamma(mathbbZ)$ coincides with the subgroup of integral points $widetildeG(mathbbZ)$
