USMB Gathering 2026

Salt Lake City, Utah

As Gathering travels from place to place every other year, we’re given the gift of connecting with churches across our USMB family. This year, our journey brings us to Utah—home to three vibrant USMB congregations. We invite you to get to know them a little better below.

Greenhouse Community Church

Saratoga Springs, Utah

👋 About us

• Our context is heavily LDS, which provides unique challenges and opportunities. We're humbled to join the Lord in discipling people from all walks of life, particularly those who have turned away from organized religion but are still hungry for a relationship with Jesus. We've seen God's faithfulness time and time again as He draws hearts to Himself and allows our church family to help provide new belonging and spiritual growth.

🗓️ Established

• 2013

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Average attendance

• 200

🎉 Something to celebrate

• Life change! It looks different for everyone, but we're witnessing some amazing stories of transformation.



🙏 Ways you can pray

• Pray for unity, maturity and perseverance in the work of serving our community.
• Pray for provision in our campaign to purchase land for a future facility. 

Lakeview Church

Stansbury Park and Grantsville, Utah

👋 About us

• Our church community has answered the call to the Great Commission specifically to people leaving the LDS church. 60% of our church's population comes from the LDS background. Over 110 new believers have been baptized since our church began (more coming in May), and mobilization of Christians into mentoring new believers has become a normal part of church culture. Believers are both mentoring and being mentored at Lakeview Church.

September 2025 baptisms at Lakeview.

🗓️ Established

• Stansbury Park Campus: 2019
• Grantsville Campus: 2021

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Average attendance

• Stansbury Park: 280-300
• Grantsville: 170-190

🎉 Something to celebrate

• We have developed six full-time ministry leaders, including three pastors, out of our high school/college development program. We expect to add two more by the end of the summer. In addition, we have had 22 interns (with four more this summer) receiving scholarships from MB Foundation's LeadGen Fund and grants from PDC's NextGen Program, and baptized 110 people since our launch.

🙏 Ways you can pray

• Pray for the needed resources to start another campus. We have many people to reach and are fundraising to help make that happen.
• Pray for our high school/college development program. It is a lot of work but well worth it. Pray for our summer staff as they grow into this. 

South Mountain Community Church

Five locations in Utah

👋 About us

• We are on a mission to reach disenfranchised LDS people in the state of Utah. We know they don't have trust with churches because of their previous experience, so we focus on providing irresistible environments to build trust and give them an opportunity to hear the Gospel.

🙏 Ways you can pray
