Update from the Foursquare Church

The Foursquare Global Council, which was comprised of leaders from more than 70 nations, gathered in Phoenix, Ariz., immediately following Foursquare Connection 2012, and walked away with Global Distinctives that the Foursquare community holds in common.

To arrive at these foundation principles, Foursquare leaders pursued collaborative and unified intercession to hear the voice of the Lord for the Foursquare global family. During that time, the global Foursquare community agreed that while Foursquare churches may be flexible to fit the cultures and communities where they minister, they are always in alignment with these Global Distinctives.

The following Global Distinctives are what make The Foursquare Church distinct as a movement and as a denomination.

Kingdom Partnerships

We will work alongside other Christians and churches with whom we can partner in mission. We will be a distinct movement, but will also hold a collegial spirit and maintain a helpful and cooperative posture.

Sound Doctrine

The Declaration of Faith of the Foursquare Church will guide our practice, church polity, and call of believers into the work of the Kingdom. It will be a biblical statement, apply to all members, and be the Declaration of Faith for all churches and all member nations. Its roots are deeply rooted in the sole source of spiritual authority – the Word of God.

Empowering Leadership

According to God’s gifting and calling, we will intentionally prepare and release men and women across generations and cultures into all positions of leadership and areas of ministry.

Family Relationships

We will relate to each other with love in our Global Family. We acknowledge that relationships are the heart of God’s Kingdom and will extend grace to fellow believers through ministry, cooperation and mutual submission in our global church.

Spirit Empowerment

As a Spirit-filled movement, we will consistently minister the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and teach and encourage believers to fully express the gifts of the Spirit in their daily lives. We totally submit ourselves in obedience to the Spirit’s use of our lives and His miraculous works in our day.

Shared Mission

We will focus our mission and ministry efforts on multiplying disciples, leaders, churches and national movements. Holding to God’s passion for the lost, we will seek a movement of evangelism, mercy ministries, contextualized church planting and mobilizing indigenous believers in ministry among all peoples.

was founded in 1923, and we have been growing leaders ever since.

      1. Thanks for asking! Foursquare does not endorse a specific version of the Bible, but we often use the NKJV.

        1. There’s a LOT of errors and ommissions in non KJV versions, that can actually dilute or deviate from sound doctrines!

  1. My husband and I are new to the area and we are coming to the Ukiaha River tomorrow ❤️❤️
