Our Mission
To make disciples of all nations, demonstrating God’s grace and teaching them to observe all things Christ commanded. (based on Matthew 28:19-20)
Our Vision
To establish and nurture vibrant, healthy churches and to facilitate a church planting movement that reflects God’s power and glory by transforming lives through the Gospel and capturing the West for Christ.
Christ’s Kingdom is expanding in Utah; We Envision 5 PCA churches in a “destitute region” multiplying in 10 years to:
- 15 Churches directly reaching 2,000 souls every week through their congregational ministries and impacting their communities – especially disenfranchised Mormons and nonbelievers.
- An established and active Presbytery that impacts Utah with an evangelical, reformed message both by itself and in partnership with other like-minded denominations.
- A thriving and relational fellowship of churches with interns, apprentices and evangelists being shepherded and nurtured; providing the optimal environment for planting success as church multiplication increases.
Mission Utah and its Role
- Created by the 5 current Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) churches to increase traction in church planting efforts without a presbytery in Utah.
- Directed by Anthony Thomas, a ruling elder from Park City Presbyterian Church and a former senior business executive, who left mid-career having been called by the Utah churches.
- It is a church planting network engaged in: recruiting and resourcing church planters; matching planters to strategic locations; affiliating planters with existing Utah churches; and leadership development.
- It is the catalyst of a multiplication movement in recognizing and engaging positive, emergent evolution.
- Recognized by Mission to North America (MNA) as the sole entity for calling church planters in Utah.
- An approved ministry of the Northern California Presbytery and its MNA Committee.
