More than likely you worship in a congregation that has more people attending it than attend all the churches of Christ combined in Utah! On any given Sunday, about 700 attend a church of Christ somewhere in Utah. Now, throw in the fact that about 50% of the population is connected the the LDS (Latter Day Saint) Church (Mormons) - with about 1.5% professing to be "Christian" and you have a furtile mission field!
We birthed our first daughter church from Southside about 18 months ago. They are now averaging around 50 per Sunday! We hope to build a new building this fall that will seat 500-700 - but we need help! We are $200,000 short of our fund raising goal. If you know of any congregations or individuals that have an interest in domestic missions - write me and I'll get in contact with them immediately!
Above all, keep the church in Utah in your prayers!
