All Beyond the Veil Worship Center church members are strongly encouraged to join in-reach and/or outreach ministries upon joining the church and become involved in the work of ministry, in accordance with
James 2:17 (NIV), which states, "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead..."

Beyond the Veil Worship Center has organized its church ministries into various departments...

oversight of all church ministries.
