Live beyond yourself with God's priorities, plans, and purpose for a radical life!
What Makes Us Unique Our Mission Statement
The Beyond Me team has experienced many personal issues facing women today; including divorce, the struggles of parenting and caring for aging parents, physical abuse, and addictions. We have also struggled with strife in our churches, splits, mergers, and revival. Yet, through these struggles, we found how to use our God-given gifts to bring an authentic and creative message to women as a team.
Our purpose is to move women to desire seeking the Lord and the belief that they too can have a changed life, no matter what path they have taken.
We each have a God-given passion to reach women -- believers and non-believers -- with the precious message that God loves us, died for each of us, and no sin has the power to keep us from that love or His saving grace, and a life endowed with hope. Our message focuses on this one point: we are all sinners, but we can all have changed lives through Christ.
We are blessed with a wonderful team of godly, gifted, and prayerful women. We often say, "It is beyond us how God has used our struggles and life experiences to spark change in the lives of others." Beyond Me feels privileged to point the way to a passionate and personal relationship with Christ. We are everyday, ordinary women led to encourage women to live beyond themselves in their daily lives because we serve a radical God.
Beyond Me Ministries exists to encourage women to live life beyond themselves by focusing on Jesus to radically change their lives and the lives of those they know. Beyond Me focuses on the truth that we are all called to live life beyond ourselves, just as Jesus did. Changing the lives of women means changing their families, churches, schools, and their communities.
Our Belief Statement
Beyond Me Ministries is non-denominational but founded on the following beliefs:
The Holy Bible is the living, active and inspired word of God.
God exists as three persons in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ was born of a virgin; was fully human yet fully God, lived a sinless life, and was crucified as a sacrifice, according to God's plan, to pay the penalty for man's sins.
Jesus defeated death, was resurrected, and is alive today.
Salvation comes to man only through faith in Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit dwells in every person who has put their faith in Christ.
Jesus Christ will return to Earth as King and take us home with Him.
Why Choose Beyond Me? Are you or the women you know overworked and overwhelmed? Do you feel unworthy? Does it seem there are never enough minutes in a day? Have you lost your focus? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you need a Beyond Me Conference.
Do you have a hard time inviting friends to church? We have designed the conference with your friends in mind. Have they been hurt by someone in a church and won't return? Are they uncomfortable around "churchy" people? If so, invite them to this conference. We want to help you minister to their spirits. Many attendees have left saying, "If only I would have known how awesome this was going to be, I would have invited my friends." Beyond Me is concentrated on helping you reach your friends and community.
Beyond Me will leave you with the resources you need for continuous growth. You will receive useful guides to help you stay focused. You'll learn to recognize how the busyness and overwhelming stresses of the world are robbing your joy. Plus, you'll see how to customize your days to live a passionate and powerful life.
We have led conferences together since 2002 and we've seen first hand what God can accomplish when women draw close to Him and His truths. We are committed to helping those seeking and needing help to connect with the resources they need.
