Saratoga Springs, Utah, is one of the fastest-growing communities in the state. With a population of approximately 65,000 people and projections showing continued rapid growth, the need for gospel-centered churches is significant.
The area is predominantly LDS, with approximately 86% of residents identifying as Latter-day Saints and only about 0.4% identifying as Evangelical Christians. While there are around 20 LDS wards in the city, there are only a few gospel-preaching churches.
That is why we are excited to partner with Gospel Fellowship Church.
Josh Roland, lead pastor of Gospel Fellowship Church, moved his family to Utah in 2024 to help establish the church and reach the community with the Gospel. Caleb Sturgis joined the mission in 2025 as assistant pastor, helping lead discipleship and community groups.
In January 2026, Origins began partnering with Gospel Fellowship Church to support their ministry financially, prayerfully, and missionally as they seek to make gospel-centered, grace-saturated disciples.

Endurance as they faithfully serve their community.
More opportunities for people in Saratoga Springs to hear and respond to the Gospel.
New believers to find biblical community and grow in their faith.
We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to seeing how God continues to work in Saratoga Springs.
