The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible is God-inspired
(2 Timothy 3:16, 17).

The Eternal Godhead
We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Ghost
(2 Corinthians 13:14).
13
Moderation

The Fall of Man

We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

Did you know.......

The Foursquare Church - officially, the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel - was founded in Los Angeles, California by Aimee Semple McPherson in 1923.

Amidst the revival days of the early 1900's, this fellowship of believers was born, determined to proclaim the solid scriptural core of Pentecostal renewal, avoiding the extremes of fanaticism on one hand and materialism on the other.

God, in His grace, has allowed us to grow from the one local fellowship to over 1900 churches in the United States and Canada. The Foursquare Church has also been established in over 107 countries of the world. These numbers are fast increasing.

We have no desire to compete or compare. We rejoice for every body of believers who lifts the blood-stained banner of Jesus Christ. The Foursquare Church is a member of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) and as a Pentecostal Church is affiliated with the Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America (PCCNA).

The term "Foursquare" stands for the four-fold ministry of Jesus Christ as the Savior (Romans 10:9), Baptizer with the Holy Ghost (Luke 3:16), Healer (1 Peter 2:24) and coming King (Acts 1:11).
