Layton, UT – The 2022 UISBC Pastor’s Conference featured Dr. Ray Van Neste, dean of the School of Theology and Missions at Union University, as the primary speaker. Dr. Van Neste led pastors through four exhortations based on 1 Corinthians 15 and the book of 2 Timothy. The title of each address encapsulates the thrust of these exhortations: Brothers, Hold Fast; Brothers, Be Bold; Brothers, Seek God’s Approval; Brothers, Fulfill Your Ministry. In addition to the messages, Zach and Andrew Thompson, members of Christ Fellowship Church of Utah County, led the gathering in worship. The conference had over 60 pre-register with even more attending on the day of the event.

The conference also included electing the President of the Pastor’s Conference for 2023 and 2024. Clint Henry, pastor of Central Valley Baptist Church, and Charles Cutrera, pastor of Mountain View Baptist Church, were elected as presidents of the 2023 and 2024 Pastors Conferences respectively. The entirety of the 2022 UISBC Pastor’s Conference can be streamed on demand from Mountain View Baptist Church’s YouTube page or by following this link.

UT/ID- September has been a busy month in church planting across Utah and Idaho. We also had a couple of churches pass full board approval for membership into UISBC.

We want to welcome Water’s Edge Fellowship in Burley, ID as a full Executive Board approved church who has been meeting since [insert launch date here] and will be able to seat their own messengers at our upcoming annual meeting in Meridian, ID. Pastor Dave Carver has given over two decades of ministry service to Utah and Idaho churches and is a leading church in the Magic Valley Association in baptisms [verify]. Find out more about Water’s Edge on their website at watersedgeidaho.org

We also welcome Gospel Grace Church meeting in the heart of Salt Lake City, who is now full Executive Board approved member of UISBC and will be able to seat their own messengers at our upcoming annual meeting. Gospel Grace is a church planting church, which started when four families moved to the Salt Lake Valley in November of 2011 and began a church planting movement. Over the next several years, GG would go on to plant Gospel Hope in Riverton, UT and Gospel Peace in Logan, UT, all while the original Gospel Grace church continues to grow and thrive. Their entire church planting story can be found on their website, gospelgrace.com.
