Foursquare

Foursquare reflects the unchanging ministry of Jesus Christ and our mission to declare it worldwide. The four squares represent the four scriptural roles of Jesus as Savior, Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, Healer and Soon-Coming King. Please watch the video below for more information.

Since Foursquare began, we’ve stayed true to our doctrine and founding statement of faith. Though ways of doing church may change with time, cultures and contexts, our message remains anchored in God’s Word.

What does Foursquare Believe?

The Six Global Distinctives

Being a global church that spans hundreds of cultures requires flexibility in style and approach. But every Foursquare church around the world agrees on six foundational principles: kingdom partnerships, sound doctrine, empowering leadership, family relationships, Spirit empowerment and shared mission. These are called our Global Distinctives. It’s what makes us, us.

The global Foursquare community came together in 2012 to decide on Global Distinctives that we hold in common as a movement. We recognize Foursquare is expressed differently around the world. Whether meeting outdoors, in a school gym, in a tent, or in a complex, whether meeting on a Tuesday night or a Sunday morning, we all worship the same God and hold the same values.

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

Global Distinctive 1: Kingdom Partnerships

We will work alongside other Christians and churches. We will be a distinct movement, and will also hold a helpful and cooperative posture to partner with in mission.

Global Distinctive 2: Sound Doctrine

Our Declaration of Faith will be a biblical statement to guide our practice. It applies to all members and is deeply rooted in the sole source of authority- the Word of God.

Global Distinctive 5: Spirit Empowerment

We intentionally prepare and release men and women across generations and cultures into all positions of leadership and areas of ministry.

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 submit ourselves to the Spirit's use of our lives.

Global Distinctive 3: Empowering Leadership

Global Distinctive 6: Shared Mission

We will focus our mission on multiplying disciples, leaders, and churches. Holding to God's passion for the lost, we will seek a movement of evangelism and church planting among all peoples.

Global Distinctive 4: 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 extend grace through ministry, cooperation, and mutual submission.
