A Church that Supports Missions
We believe that God has ordained the local church to preach the gospel to every creature and to fulfill the Great Commission. The most important mission we have is our own local community. But we believe that we should reach beyond our own city to the "regions beyond." Through "Faith Promise" missions, we financially support missionaries all over the world, from Paupau, New Guinea to Chicago, Illinois to Zambia, Africa.

A Church that Builds Homes and Families
In addition to the "Senior Saints" who grace our church, we have more than a few young and growing families. We take seriously our responsibility to raise our children "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," and we believe God's promise that if we "train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it." With this in mind, we regularly teach and preach on the home and family, including the duties of parents, of children, of husbands, of wives, of grandparents, of brothers and sisters.
A Church that Holds True to Baptist Distinctives
We hold to the historic "Baptist Distinctives," including (but not limited to) believer's baptism by immersion, church membership for the saved only, and the Lord's Supper for members in good standing of our own church. We also occasionally welcome members of other churches to our Table, so long as they are active members in good standing within a church of like faith and practice with ours.
A Church that Defends the Faith (2 Timothy 2:24-26)
Living in Utah provides us with many opportunities to defend the faith against unbelieving attacks. We strive to do so in the spirit of meekness as God's Word commands. But we also strive to do so rigorously, with a humble boldness and reliance upon the Word of God in every apologetic encounter. We strive to defend the faith manfully, earnestly contending for the faith. We strive to defend the faith faithfully, not ever apologizing for the "less than palatable" parts of Scripture. We strive to be "always ready to give an answer to every man that asketh us a reason of the hope that lieth within us." In the future, we will provide material and information that directly addresses Mormon attacks on our faith. If you would like to watch a 25 minute gospel presentation that plainly presents the gospel of "grace alone" and is particularly designed for our LDS neighbors, please visit www.WillGodForgiveMe.org.
