Interview with Chip Thompson – TriGrace Ministries

In the heart of Ephraim, Utah, surrounded by one of the most densely populated LDS communities in America, Chip Thompson and TriGrace Ministries are shining the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Their mission is to help Ex-Mormons and questioning Latter-day Saints not lose faith altogether, but rediscover the true Jesus of the Bible and the unshakable truth of God’s Word.

TriGrace Ministries exists to show that biblical Christianity is not about religion or rituals, but about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who is both Lord and Savior. Many who leave Mormonism struggle with confusion, guilt, or unbelief — but TriGrace points them to the unfailing grace of God revealed in Scripture: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9)

Through campus outreach, discipleship programs, and personal mentoring, Chip and his team help people replace man-made doctrines with the eternal truth of God’s Word, reminding them that the Bible alone is the final authority for faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16–17). They teach that salvation is found not through church membership or temple ordinances, but through faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross (John 19:30; Romans 10:9–10).

Chip also addresses important questions about the historical claims of Mormonism — including the lack of archaeological evidence supporting the Book of Mormon. His presentation, “Book of Mormon Archaeology,” reveals that while Mormonism’s historical claims have no foundation in reality, the Bible’s historical and archaeological reliability continues to affirm its divine inspiration (Psalm 119:160; Luke 1:1–4).

TriGrace Ministries’ heart is not to attack, but to lovingly share truth — helping people move from the bondage of works-based religion into the freedom of God’s grace.

  • “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
  • “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
