Utah’s landscape is changing.
We are always learning!
Rapid population changes are taking place in the USA. Demographers report that, if the current pace holds, by 2042 “we” will be a “minority majority“!
Uncharacteristically, Utah is not 15 years behind the rest of the nation, as often has been the case in socio-cultural trends. Due to a favorable work environment and being a designated refugee resettlement area since 1980, the percent of Utah residents born outside the USA has grown from less than 3% to over 10% in less than 30 years.
Perhaps just as surprising is that, by God’s orchestration, the Body of Christ is ahead of the curve in comparison to the rest of Utah in this transformation. Many of the refugees and immigrants are Christians upon arrival. So, whether you are aware of it or not, “we” are already a “minority majority”!
As God brings the world to our doorstep and transforms His family portrait here, The Vine Institute seeks to serve the Christian community by promoting attentiveness, wisdom, and faithfulness concerning intercultural life in and among churches, as well as between churches and their neighbors.
