Global Impact Team
The Global Impact Team is a group of lay leaders tasked with managing, growing and nurturing Mountain Life’s Global Impact Ministry. The purpose of this ministry is to effectively share the Gospel of Christ with the people of our world through compassionate and wholistic ministry changing the lives of those served and those serving. We accomplish our purpose through strategic partnerships with missionary organizations, individual missionaries and church organizations around the globe.
The Global Impact Team meets monthly and our meetings are open to all who call Mountain Life Church their home. We offer members of the Mountain Life Church community the opportunity to enter service to develop a passion for God and compassion for people. We strive to provide accessibility to the mission field for a wide spectrum of the Mountain Life Church family – adults, students, kids and families through short-term mission trips. We want to leverage our spiritual and physical gifts and talents to have a true Kingdom impact.

Regional Impact Team
The goal of regional impact at Mountain Life Church is to bring Christ’s love into our neighborhoods and communities.
When we develop a heart that is aware of one another’s needs and a spirit that is compelled to meet those needs, we are able to bring God’s grace and love in life-changing ways. Meeting people’s physical and spiritual needs in Park City and the surrounding communities offers many opportunities to share the message of hope found in Jesus Christ. As a church, we recognize and promote Utah as a mission field. Therefore, we have partnered with several organizations regionally to make the biggest impact on our communities.
