Salt Lake City has only 1 Christian church for every 10,000 people.
“I spent my church life as a Mormon before I knew the Lord’s grace. But my Mormon background deceived me for years. I thought I was following God. It was Jesus that freed my soul not a church, not by my own works, but by God's free gift to those who call upon the very name of Jesus. That’s how simple it is.”

But isn’t Mormonism the same as Christianity?
Some Numbers and History
Salt Lake City, Utah and Mormonism
In July of 1847 the first Mormon pioneers arrived in what would become Salt Lake City, Utah. After them followed at least 236 pioneer companies of approximately 60,000 people. Temple Square is visited by nearly 5 million people annually. In addition to the Salt Lake Temple 12 other temples dot the state. Four more temples are announced, under construction or being remodeled.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (The Mormon Church) is far reaching in the state of Utah. They own 4,824 wards (churches) and operate 170 family history centers, a crucial part of their religion due to ordinances performed on behalf of deceased family members.
The Salt Lake City region has the youngest population in the U.S., the highest birthrate in the U.S., the most educated adult workforce, and the lowest number of gospel preaching churches per person of any state in the country.

Why?
Our Heart for Mormons.
Mormons believe that they are Christians. People have different definitions of that word, but the point is that when Mormonism is too much to bear, Mormons turn away from God altogether. Most don’t realize that there is any alternative other than atheism, and many have never met a born-again Christian.
Our heart is to share the redemptive, grace-filled Gospel with young Mormons so that they can experience an eternal life full of freedom and joy with Jesus. We want to expose them to the love of Jesus and present the truthful narrative of Jesus’ work throughout history.
