We Believe
 

We exist as a local congregation to witness to the world of God’s love as revealed in His Son Jesus Christ, our crucified, risen, exalted and soon-returning King; and we live to serve our community in His same love and power, knowing He is “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Heb. 13:8).

We seek to teach the Word of God and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, shaping and equipping our church family so that believers will be nourished and empowered to fulfill their God-ordained, created purpose and ministry. We seek to prepare people who care for one another, and who sensitively reach to our City and our World that all may be saved, being brought to a living faith in Christ as Savior and Lord.

As part of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, we are:

Interdenominational in Spirit
Evangelical in Message
International in Project

The Foursquare Declaration of Faith, which lays out our basic doctrine, was drafted by Foursquare founder Aimee Semple McPherson. An abbreviated version is below. You can also download the complete Foursquare Declaration of Faith by clicking HERE.

 


 

FOURSQUARE DECLARATION OF FAITH

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Baptism and the Lord's Supper: (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25)
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.

Baptism with the Holy Spirit: (Acts 2:4)
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.

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

The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit: (1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22)
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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