"We are pleased to have this opportunity to share our labor of love and service for the Lord with you. If Anchor Baptist Church could be an encouragement to you and your family in spiritual things, we would be fulfilling the goal of our ministry."

To introduce Anchor, let me give you some helpful information:

Our staff is made up of two full-time pastors, a secretary, and three full-time teachers in our Christian Academy (K-12). Each one is dedicated to his or her own field, and is trained to provide the Word of God to the respective age levels in a helpful manner. Each is capable of delivering the proper kinds of assistance so that your children, teens and other family members can be safely guided through biblical concepts to a life that is rich, wholesome, motivated, and productive for the Lord and themselves.

Our ministry is geared toward the needs of people. We have a Christian Academy (K-12) because we think it is important to reach our children on a daily basis with a quality education combined with a focus on the Lord and our daily walk with Him. As all youth are not able to attend our school, there are many other ways we incorporate them into the ministry. Our youth program is designed to assist young people from the nursery all the way through high school years. Our youth pastor works with each child and also with the collective group. There are opportunities to learn by listening, but also to experience by actually doing.

As we support over thirty full time missionary families, you can see that we are missionary minded. When adults and youth visit various fields, they have a hands on approach, not only hearing about missions, but doing the work of the missionary.

Sunday School is for all ages. Normally, adults have an elective course they can choose out of several classes. Teachers rotate so there is greater interest. New approaches and varied talents are put to work. There are classes for everyone from the youngest infant to the oldest adult. Our teachers all know and love the Lord Jesus Christ and meet the high standards we require for a teacher in a church that is conservative rather than permissive. Each one loves the Bible (King James only) and is able to teach it with conviction.

Children’s Clubs on Wednesday evening afford young people time to get together with their friends and have a time of fun while learning scripture verses. They work for awards and merit badges and are then recognized at the end of the year for their performance. They also have time to play wholesome games in our gym. They have activities on some weekends as well as projects they are to accomplish. Our children’s club allows them to express themselves in many ways as they use this ministry to grow in the Lord.

Out trained Music director is unequaled anywhere. He directs a brass ensemble on Sunday evening, using adults and youth. He leads our adult choir and teaches them how to sing, not just to make noise. His evangelistic and conservative style in music makes the church a place of joy, but also a place of dignified worship to the Lord. For children who attend the academy, there are also many opportunities in the field of music. There are choirs in both the academy and the church. The children’s choir, led by a trained lady vocalist, sings in services every other Sunday night; and the teen’s choir sings the alternate Sunday.

The Word of God takes the front seat at Anchor Baptist Church. The preaching is designed to be, not only interesting, but convicting. Our approach is that the King James Bible is God’s Word to the English speaking world. I and our other pastors, and all speakers invited to our church, never correct or project doubt about the accuracy and preservation of our Bible. It is preached from a literal standpoint and always with the goal of presenting Jesus Christ in His death, burial and resurrection as being the gospel. We believe it is His work at Calvary that gives opportunity to those receiving Him as the Saviour to be saved for all eternity. We teach grace coupled with God’s demand that we must be born-again through repentance and receiving Jesus Christ. Every ministry is directed toward this focal point; Christ and His Word are the foundation of our church.

The church has so much to offer, it is hard to present it all in one letter. There is van transportation if it is needed, and which also acts as a bus ministry. There is a nursing home outreach each week. There are summer camp programs, retreats and conferences, and evangelistic meetings. There is a Bible College (which meets one night each week) where you can receive college level credits towards a degree. Our people and staff visit with shut-ins and make hundreds of calls into the community on an unceasing basis. There are regular youth night services each month in our church to allow families to express their talents in various fields.

Anchor Baptist extends a warm greeting to you, your family and your friends, and hope we can be a blessing to you through what we believe God has given to us in these many areas, all we ask is that you give us that opportunity. If you are visiting or moving to Salt Lake...(this is where the text ended on the old site).
