Sharing the hope of the Gospel, beyond borders
501 & Beyond Missions exists to glorify Jesus Christ by serving people, strengthening communities, and coming alongside the local church.
Our Vision
To see lives transformed by the love of Jesus Christ as communities around the world are reached, equipped, and united through the Gospel.
Our Mission
To glorify Jesus Christ by serving people, strengthening communities, and sharing the hope of the Gospel wherever God leads us.
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.
