Youth ministry in Belize
Where it began

Rooted in Belize, reaching beyond

501 & Beyond Missions began with a heart for the people of Belize and a conviction that the local church is God's plan to reach the world. The “501” honors our roots; the “beyond” is our calling to keep going wherever God leads.

Today we help churches and groups step into meaningful, Christ-centered ministry — serving alongside believers who live and love their communities long after each team goes home.
