The Genesis
In October 1989, the vision entrusted to Apostle Robert Evans, Jr. was realized in Richmond, Virginia. The new work was given the name Beth-El, recalling Jacob’s declaration: “This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
From its beginning, Beth-El has sought to strengthen leaders, establish churches, encourage missions, and prepare the Body of Christ for faithful service.
