From Robert Farrell Smith's best-selling novel comes a hilarious romantic comedy about a town where everybody's nuts...about religion! Tartan (Dan Merkley) is 29, single and Mormon. Tired of being set up by his marriage-conscious mother, Tartan takes a job as a forest ranger in Longfellow, a sleepy town where half the population is LDS, the other half is Baptist, and nobody can get along! Tartan's not the only recent transplant: the beautiful (and single) Charity (Heather Beers) arrives in Longfellow to spend some time away from her ex-fiance. Together Tartan and Charity devise a plan to unite the town by having and All-Faiths Barbecue! Sweet and charming, funny and touching, Baptists At Our Barbecue reminds us all that life is a barbecue to which God has invited everyone. Whom we sit by or pass the salt to is up to us.

At age 29, Tartan Jones has seen little of the world outside of Utah - and nothing by way of an eternal mate. Frustrated, and still single, Tartan makes a desperate bid to change his life and luck by accepting the first transfer that comes along at work.... Read More

At age 29, Tartan Jones has seen little of the world outside of Utah - and nothing by way of an eternal mate. Frustrated, and still single, Tartan makes a desperate bid to change his life and luck by accepting the first transfer that comes along at work.

Fate lands him in a small town affectionately nicknamed Longwinded located deep in the mountains, somewhere in the American Southwest.

Longwinded is home not only to some colorful personalities but also an equal number of Mormons and Baptists. Tartan's arrival breaks the tie and intensifies a feud that has existed for years between zealots on both sides of the argument. Suspicions really fly when someone hauls off half the double-wide trailer that has served as the Mormon's chapel.

To make things worse, likely marriage prospects remain in short supply.

Baptists at Our Barbecue is a story for people of all ages, a reminder that life is a barbecue to which God has invited all of us. Whom we sit by or pass the salt to is up to us. Bon appétit!
