Our Story
Utah Advance Ministries was founded in 2011 by pastor and author Ross Anderson (M.Div, D.Min). Ross’ passion and prayer during 40 years of ministry in Utah is the prayer of Jesus in Matthew 9:37-38:
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
God has been faithful to answer this prayer: Utah has more churches, church planters, and Christian workers than ever before. Utah Advance’s role in God’s great mission is to resource these Christian leaders, ministries, and churches to not only survive, but thrive, in the Mormon Corridor.
Our Activity
Resourcing Churches
We provide coaching and resources to equip evangelical Christian churches – from church plans to established congregations – to witness and serve wisely within our unique religious culture. We especially equip Christian ministries to enfold and disciple former Latter-day Saints.
Content Development
We develop strategic content that addresses the questions today’s Latter-day Saints and former Latter-day Saints are asking. We provide thoughtful analysis to serve the various ministries in our region and those who are considering ministering here.
Helping Former Mormons
We create video and print resources, along with individual mentoring, to help people navigate the journey out of Mormonism into a biblical faith in Jesus and into a healthy relationship with a local Christian church.
