Overview

Mission

Beyond the blue is a christian ministry which equips the local church in how to reach their pre-christian friends, using the alpha course, the marriage, pre marriage and parenting courses. "our desire is to see individuals, couples and churches equipped to experience healthy relationships, marriages & families. We believe change is possible to last a lifetime and beyond, into eternity."

What it reported doing in 2025

We built and update our website above. We continue to consult with churches and organizations around the USA and australia. We continue to believe that in order to help marriages last a life time we need to be proactive in preventive work, we want to see a reduction in divorces across our state and around the country. As a result we have trained over 120 churches nationwide in how to implement the pre marriage, the marriage and alpha courses in our continued close partnership with alpha USA and alpha australia. Also we ran 3 marriage and 2 alpha courses in person, and online, for local churches in va, co and sydney, australia. On an individual basis we took 7 couples through marriage preparation in 2025; as well as numerous married couples in individual counseling.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
