Project Back to School 2026
Life Church Utah Serves More Than 1,000 Local Students Through Project Back to School
Project Back to School reflects Life Church Utah's commitment to leading the people of the valley to be more like Jesus by demonstrating Biblical Truth, Intentional Love, and Radical Generosity in tangible ways.
August 1st, 2026
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — Families from across the Salt Lake Valley gathered at Life Church Utah for its annual Project Back to School event, where more than 1,000 backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed to students preparing for the upcoming school year.
In addition to backpacks, families enjoyed free groceries, haircuts, lunch, games, and activities, all provided by hundreds of volunteers and generous community partners who came together with one goal: helping students begin the school year with confidence and support.
Project Back to School is part of Life Church Utah's year-round outreach efforts, which include Food Share, Street Outreach, GriefShare, and other ministries serving individuals and families throughout the valley.
Life Church Utah exists to lead the people of the valley to be more like Jesus through Biblical Truth, Intentional Love, and Radical Generosity. Community outreach events like Project Back to School are among the many ways the church seeks to demonstrate Christ's love in practical ways.

Backpack Filling Night
July 15th, 2026
In the days leading up to the event, the church family came together for a special volunteer night on July 15. Together, volunteers filled 1,200 backpacks with school supplies and walked surrounding neighborhoods to hang 1,000 invitations, personally welcoming families to Project Back to School. It was a powerful reminder that serving our community begins long before the event itself.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped fill the 1200 backpacks and pass out the door hangers!
