UTAH VALLEY STUDENT INTERFAITH ASSOCIATION

The purpose of this group is to create a platform for religious discussion for people of different faiths living either in Utah County or across the states.

We have a blog where members of this group and people everywhere can share their views on religious issues of importance to them and their faith and promote understanding of others' religions by facilitating communication across religious barriers.

We also will be providing information on the different religious organizations located in Utah County and inform members of upcoming events which may be taking place in the community.
