The Harvest Is Ready

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.”

Not Exactly

But isn’t Mormonism the same as Christianity?

1

Works for Salvation?

Belief in Jesus is not enough to have eternal life. There must be more. Certain works are required if you want to live with God forever.
2

Created or Creator?

Mormons believe that God is a created being. They also believe that Lucifer is the brother of Jesus, so he could not have created Satan.
3

Always God?

Mormons believe that God is a glorified man that achieved godhood through eternal progression.
4

More Than One God?

Mormons believe in three separate gods (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit). Mormons also believe they have the potential to become gods one day. There may be gods before God the Father.
5

Life Before Birth?

Mormons believe our spirits lived in a pre-existence and then gained bodies on Earth. We lived with God in the pre-existence.
6

Modern Day Prophets?

Mormons believe that we have a modern day prophet who gives us special revelation from God. He is like the prophets of the Old Testament.
7

Five Levels of Heaven?

Mormons believe that there are 3 "degrees" of heaven with the highest degree containing three sub-degrees. The highest of all of these is where God resides.
8

Temple Work?

Mormons perform various ceremonies and eternal marriages inside their temples. Temple work is required to reach the third degree of heaven.
9

Baptism for the Dead?

Mormons perform baptisms and eternal marriages on behalf of deceased family members. These family members are then granted a second chance during their life in spirit prison, before heaven.
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.
