All Foursquare churches teach...

  • 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 (I John 1:9).

  • NEW BIRTH
    We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real new start (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

  • DAILY CHRISTIAN LIVING
    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 (Matt. 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of the bread and juice of the vine (I Corinthians 11:24, 25).

  • BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
    We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in 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 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                 (I 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 fanaticism (Philippians 4:5).

  • DIVINE HEALING
    We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).

  • THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
    We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent       (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17).

  • CHURCH RELATIONSHIP
    We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ, a local church (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

  • CIVIL GOVERNMENT
    We believe that rulers should be honored at all times except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1-5).

  • THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
    We believe that everyone will stand some day before the judgement 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 all 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 their Savior (Revelation 20:10,15).

  • EVANGELISM
    We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).
