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

When: Nov 7, 2024 — Nov 9, 2024

What to Expect:

In just three short days you will more fully understand the spiritual needs of Utah. You will interact with current and former LDS, including at a visit to Temple Square (the headquarters of the LDS church), and be exposed to ministry work going on in Utah. You will spend time at a Biblical Ministries Worldwide conference with church planters as you consider how the Lord can use you to reach Utah.

Please note that the Advance Utah Conference is all day, Friday Nov 8, 2024.

Note: If you are a current Bible College student, we can provide free housing and transportation. You will be responsible for your airfare and cost of most meals (we provide Thursday Breakfast, Friday Lunch, & Saturday Breakfast). Space for this opportunity is limited.
