World Gospel Outreach (WGO) is a protestant, non-denominational, evangelical church ministry founded in the United States and doing ministry in Honduras and Belize. Our Belizean and Honduran staff, our full-time missionaries and our North American teams are comprised of people representing many denominational backgrounds. While there may be some doctrinal differences, we choose to lay those differences aside. What we will not compromise on are the essential truths of the Person and Work of Jesus Christ as revealed in Scripture. We choose to unite around and unreservedly adhere to these truths. We ask all who come to serve in submission to these same truths.
