"It's amazing what can be accomplished for the Kingdom of God whenever the body of Christ does their part. Some pray, some give, some go but the glory belongs to Him."

What We Believe
Beyond the Gate Ministries - Statement of Faith
- We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their original writing, as fully inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
- We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that all have sinned and thereby have inherited the penalty of sin which is physical and spiritual death.
- We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins in a substitutionary sacrifice according to the scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate.
- We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit, are forgiven of their sins and accepted as children of God.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances – Baptism in water and the Lord’s Supper- to be observed as acts of obedience of the Christian faith; that Baptism is the immersion of the believer as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the Savior’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, till He comes.
- We believe in the baptism in and fellowship of the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts. We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Evangelist, Prophet, Pastor, and Teacher.
- We believe that divine healing was provided for in the Old Testament and is an integral part of the Gospel.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.
