Birmingham and Beyond believes in living out our Christian faith as effectively as possible and impacting those who have not yet heard or experienced the Gospel.

We believe we should share the Good News about Jesus, equip people in their faith journey, and see them live out an active faith in their daily lives.

Birmingham and Beyond hold to the central beliefs of the Christian faith as expressed in the Apostles’, Nicene, and Chalcedonian Creeds.

• We believe that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God.
   
• We are generally Reformed in our theology, with a strong emphasis on the grace of God and justification by faith.
   
• We believe that water baptism is a sign and seal of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ.
   
• We believe in the continued gifts of the Holy Spirit, tested against the Word of God. 
   
• We believe in and are committed to upholding Biblical Marriage. 
   
• We believe the two offices of the local church are elders and deacons. While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of elder is limited to qualified men.

As members of the Evangelical Alliance, we affirm modern statements like the Lausanne Covenant and the Evangelical Alliance statement of faith. We believe in...

• The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
   
• The love, grace, and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming, and judging the world.
   
• The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
   
• The dignity of all people made male and female in God's image to love, be holy, and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
   
• The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
   
• The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin, and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
   
• The bodily Resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our Resurrection, his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
   
• The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
   
• The ministry of God the Holy Spirit leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship, and enables our witness.
   
• The Church, the body of Christ, both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
   
• The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth. 

We are also part of Regions Beyond, a sphere within the larger network of churches known as Newfrontiers—a group of apostolic leaders partnering together on a global mission, joined by common beliefs, values, and a shared mission.
