Understanding the Need

Utah is the least evangelized state in America and the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, popularly known as the LDS or Mormon Church. Only 2% of the population attends an Evangelical Church. Join us for the Advance Utah Vision Trip and explore how we could use you to help establish a healthy church for every community in Utah.

BMW is actively working with church planters, churches, and believers throughout the U.S. to establish 5 new church plants by 2027. We are also continuing to establish 8 existing church plants in Utah. Will you help us establish a healthy church for every community in Utah?

Overview
