Neighborhood Church

David and Victoria Henderson began to sense God’s leading to plant a church in the greater Salt Lake City area in the spring of 2018. After attending a vision meeting for a short-term trip to Utah, they found themselves hungry to learn more about the LDS-saturated culture and landscape of the state. After a year of digging into the topic, David and Victoria attended another vision trip to SLC. On this trip, they felt a strong sense of confirmation from the Lord, and were introduced to the community where they are dreaming to plant – Daybreak. They will be moving there from Bailey, CO, where David currently serves as the Executive Pastor at Crow Hill Bible Church (a CRM church), in the fall of 2020! ...

David and Victoria Henderson began to sense God’s leading to plant a church in the greater Salt Lake City area in the spring of 2018. After attending a vision meeting for a short-term trip to Utah, they found themselves hungry to learn more about the LDS-saturated culture and landscape of the state. After a year of digging into the topic, David and Victoria attended another vision trip to SLC. On this trip, they felt a strong sense of confirmation from the Lord, and were introduced to the community where they are dreaming to plant – Daybreak. They will be moving there from Bailey, CO, where David currently serves as the Executive Pastor at Crow Hill Bible Church (a CRM church), in the fall of 2020!

Daybreak is a master-planned community in the city of South Jordan, UT. Located in the southwestern portion of Salt Lake County, it is a prime starting point to spread the gospel south into Utah County (over 85% LDS) and west into Tooele County (70% LDS) as the Hendersons dream to plant a church that plants more churches in these areas. Daybreak is rapidly expanding. It’s population is forecasted to grow from about 15,000 to over 50,000 in the next 15 years.

The Hendersons believe that Daybreak itself is a metaphor for the heartbreaking contrast between external appearance and internal reality for the people of Utah. Beyond the pristine lawns and 6-foot white-washed fences, inside the meticulously-planned homes lies so much hurt, pain, and darkness. So many people are longing for something more – for the light of hope to break through the darkness. As thousands of both Utahns and out-of-state transplants move into Daybreak, David and Victoria hope to catch them in their time of transition. The Henderson’s prayer is that for many, a new normal will include a life-changing, personal relationship with Jesus.

Beyond the Walls Community Church

Dave and Beth Nickodemus are planning to launch Beyond the Walls Community Church in northern Colorado Springs in the spring of 2020.  After a year of discernment, prayer and a lot of guidance from the Holy Spirit, Dave and Beth are excited to take a bold leap of faith and plant Beyond the Walls.  The Nickodemus family has been living in Colorado Springs for the past five years in which Dave has been serving as an associate pastor and Beth as a marketing director at a Christian financial services company.  The Nickodemuses have been serving full time in LCMS and LCMC Lutheran churches for the past 13 years, but are excited to be planting a church ...

The Northern Colorado Springs and Monument area of Colorado are experiencing rapid growth with multiple homes and apartment complexes continually being built.  While the area has become a definite destination for people to live, it is also an area of major loneliness and people feeling very disconnected.  This is evident in the high teen suicide rates and drug issues.  Many people in our rapidly growing city are in desperate need of support and community. 

 

The mission of Beyond the Walls Community Church is to create community through love, service and laughter.  We want to create a community where people are connected to God and each other.  We want to be a multicultural community where everyone (child to senior) loves Jesus contagiously and courageously.  At Beyond the Walls we want to launch into our neighborhoods with a purpose, coming alongside others and meet real needs.  We also want to combat the epidemic of loneliness through conversation and laughter (yes, laughter, because we firmly believe it's actually a lot of fun to serve God together).  Our approach to ministry at Beyond the Walls will rely on community events, sports ministry programs, and Dave and Beth's passion to embrace the messiness of life, share the incredible wonder of God through the amazing message of Jesus.  To learn more about Beyond the Walls Community Church, email Dave and Beth at dnickodemus@gmail.com or visit https://www.beyondthewallscc.com/.

Hope Colorado Springs

Josh and Kelly Allen officially launched Hope Colorado Springs in September 2018 after a long season of prayer and preparation. The mission of Hope Colorado Springs is to make the hope we’ve found in Jesus real. We seek to do this by living intentional, generous, and humble lives that speak love and truth to all who we share life with.

Hope Colorado Springs

Josh and Kelly Allen officially launched Hope Colorado Springs in September 2018 after a long season of prayer and preparation. The mission of Hope Colorado Springs is to make the hope we’ve found in Jesus real. We seek to do this by living intentional, generous, and humble lives that speak love and truth to all who we share life with.

Our missional presence in northeast Colorado Springs focuses on three core priorities: rising generations of truth seekers and Church leaders, relationships with those who share our neighborhoods and workplaces, and restored lives among those in need of physical aid and family.

Despite its inaccurate reputation as a predominantly “Christian” city, some estimate that fewer than 20% of locals are involved in any form of faith community in Colorado Springs. Our county leads the nation in teen suicide rates, and many families in our city are struggling with challenges of military life. There is a need for real hope in Colorado Springs that isn’t widely realized by first impressions of our beautiful city.

You and your church family can join God’s mission of making His hope real in our community by supporting us with prayer, words of encouragement, and financial support. We are dedicated to being wise stewards of God’s resources by how we carry out our mission and core priorities, maximizing the impact of God’s Kingdom in our community. Thank you for considering partnering with us, and making the hope of Jesus real in Colorado Springs and beyond.

Please be praying for Hope Colorado Springs and their needs, and contact Josh at josh@hopecosprings.church with questions or for more information.

The Front Church

Nate and Robyn Ray moved their family to Utah in 2017 for a ministry residency after a season of church planting and pastoral ministry, seeking clarity from God for their next phase of life and ministry. Through the residency time, God has called them to plant a church in the Salt Lake Valley. The Gospel need in Utah is staggering, with less than 3% of the population being Christian (protestant, orthodox, and Catholic included in that number). Utah is a beautiful place to live, filled with beautiful people, but buried beneath the surface is a lot of hurt and pain. Utah is one of the nation’s leaders in plastic surgery, porn consumption, depression, and teen suicide. The burden to keep up appearances...

The Gospel need in Utah is staggering, with less than 3% of the population being Christian (protestant, orthodox, and Catholic included in that number). Utah is a beautiful place to live, filled with beautiful people, but buried beneath the surface is a lot of hurt and pain. Utah is one of the nation’s leaders in plastic surgery, porn consumption, depression, and teen suicide. The burden to keep up appearances without letting people into the not-so-pretty parts of yourself is a suffocating burden, but it’s a weight many are carrying, and a fruit of the religious culture in Utah; it’s a weight that can only truly be lifted in surrender to Jesus and in community with His people. 
 
Draper, UT is projected to be the 2nd largest city in Utah within 15 years and sits just north of Utah county, whose population is 80% Latter Day Saint. We see an opportunity with the growth of Draper to plant a burden-lifting church that is pointing people towards Jesus and in community with His people, with dreams to see more churches planted in both Salt Lake and Utah counties.

The Mission Church, Utah

The Mission Church reaches Mormons and ex-Mormons in the least churched region of our country with the gospel-centric missional heart it shares with Converge Rocky Mountain. We exist to glorify God, strengthen believers, and reach the lost.

Ritch Sandford, with his family, moved to Utah from the Chicago suburbs in 2013 after serving as a pastor at The Compass Church in Naperville, IL. The stories of transformed lives since then, fuel their vision to seek out, rescue and make disciples of the lost people in Utah.

The Mission Church is growing and currently praying for the funds (around $50,000) to support another much needed staff member. In addition, a wonderful warehouse space was acquired and recently renovated for weekend worship services and mid-week ministries. They are currently trying to raise $20,000 of additional support to help finish the renovation project.

Ritch would love to see churches send people, teams, and interns who have a heart to reach Mormons to serve with them for a few days or for several months.
