Gospel Advance Training Center
Utah is only 2.5% Evangelical Christian
While Utah is the most unreached state in the entire United States, we believe Jesus’ promise that the harvest is plentiful here in Utah and we desire to see the Kingdom of God advanced in mighty ways. Please take a few minutes to watch the video (above) to hear about an exciting new endeavor God has called us toward.
We are realigning our resources to advance God’s kingdom through a strategic focus on total gospel saturation. One key component is the Gospel Advance Training Center. We believe God is calling us to see the center become a reality within the next few years and we believe the center to be the first of its kind ever in the history of Utah!
EQUIPPING & DEPLOYING LABORERS
The center will provide housing for interns to live onsite as they learn and practice transformational ministry, experience peer learning, receive mentoring from a pastor or planter, and serve alongside churches and church plants in order to fulfill the Great Commission in a highly efficient and effective way. In addition, the Gospel Advance Training Center will offer contextualized missiological training specifically designed with Utah’s unique context in mind.
STRENGTHEN & SUPPORT EXISTING CHURCHES
Additionally, those who choose to come out to Utah and partner with the Salt Lake Baptist Association will be plugged into existing churches and church plants within our local association which will strengthen and encourage ministry already taking place here across the Wasatch front.
WE FULLY EXPECT THE OUTCOME OF THIS TO:
produce many followers of Christ
strengthen existing churches and church plants
multiply more church plants
inspire and encourage churches to become more outward focused
recruit new residential laborers from interns and mission teams who fall in love with the mission to reach the Wasatch Front for Christ.
