We Believe In...

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 Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14)

The Fall of Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12)

The Plan of Salvation
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8)

Salvation Through Grace
We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8)

Repentance and Acceptance
We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (1 John 1:9)

The New Birth
We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life, at conversion, is a very real one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20)

Daily Christian Life
We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1)

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by the symbolical use of the bread and juice of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:24,25)

Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in the Bible days (Acts 2:4)

The Spirit Filled Life
We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32).

The Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22)

Moderation
We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticisms (Philippians 4:5).

Divine Healing
We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to the prayer of faith (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

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

The Final Judgment
We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgment seat of God; and there receive eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).

Heaven
We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).

Hell
We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Saviour. (Revelation 20:10,15)

Church Relationship
We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible church of Christ (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

Tithes and Offerings
We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and growth of His cause is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7)

Evangelism
We believe that soul-winning is the most important responsibility of the church (James 5:20).

Civic Government
We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1-5).

The Foursquare Church was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1923, by Aimee Semple McPherson. Aimee was an international evangelist, born in Canada.

The term “Foursquare”represents the fourfold ministry of Jesus Christ as:

    a. The Saviour (Romans 10:9)
    b. Baptizer with the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:16)
    c. Healer (1 Peter 2:24)
    d. Soon Coming King (Acts 1:11)

Born during the revival days of the 1900’s this fellowship of believers was determined to proclaim the solid scriptural core of Spirit-filled Christianity. They continually worked to avoid the extremes of fanaticism on the one hand and materialism on the other.

Our vision for ministry is interdenominational in scope. We have no desire to compete or compare. We are thankful for every body of believers who love and serve our Lord Jesus Christ.

God, in His grace, has allowed us to grow from a single, local fellowship to over 2000 churches in Canada and the United States. The Foursquare Church has also been established in over 70 countries around the world.

The Foursquare Church is a member of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) and is affiliated with the Pentecostal Charismatic Church of North America (PCCNA) as well as the Pentecostal World Conference (PWC).
