Statement of Faith

1. The Bible Is God's Inspired Word

We believe the Holy Scriptures are the inspired, authoritative, and complete Word of God. The Bible reveals God's truth, His plan of salvation, and serves as the foundation for our faith and daily living.

Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 119:105; 2 Peter 1:20–21

2. Jesus Christ Is Our Savior, Baptizer, Healer, and Soon-Coming King

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died and rose again to provide salvation by grace through faith. He baptizes believers with the Holy Spirit, heals today, and will personally return for His Church.

Scripture: John 3:16; Acts 1:8; James 5:14–16; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17

3. The Holy Spirit Transforms and Empowers Believers

We believe every believer is called to live a Spirit-filled life, growing in holiness while demonstrating the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit to serve God and others.

Scripture: Acts 2:4; Galatians 5:22–23; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11

4. The Church Is Called to Worship, Disciple, and Share the Gospel

We believe the Church exists to worship God, make disciples, celebrate baptism and communion, and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation.

Scripture: Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:41–42; Mark 16:15

5. We Live with Eternal Hope and Faithful Stewardship

We believe Christ will return, all people will face judgment, and eternity will be spent in either heaven or hell. Until then, believers are called to live faithfully through generosity, obedience, and service as they advance God's Kingdom.

Scripture: Titus 2:11–13; Revelation 20:11–15; Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7

These five points capture the heart of the Foursquare Declaration of Faith while emphasizing its central message: Jesus Christ is our Savior, Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, Healer, and Soon-Coming King, and believers are called to live transformed lives rooted in Scripture and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

As a Bible-believing church, we stand on these foundational truths:

Repentance and Forgiveness

  • All men need forgiveness for sin. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Jesus told us to "Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). We believe that all men enter the kingdom of God only through a born-again experience, accepting Jesus Christ as Savior (John 3:3-5, Romans 10:9-11).

Water Baptism

  • After declaring Him Lord of your life, Jesus commands that we follow Him in water baptism: a public declaration of our commitment to a new way of life, a farewell to an old way of thinking, and a signpost of a life-changing decision (Matthew 28:19-20, Romans 6:3-8).

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

  • When Jesus left, He promised to send us another Comforter Who would live in us, lead us, guide us into truth, and empower us for service (Matthew 3:11, Luke 11:9-13). He promised that we would receive power and be His witnesses when we are baptized in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-5, 7-8, 2:38-39). See the Bible Topics on the Holy Spirit for additional Bible verses about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Healing and Deliverance

  • We believe in divine healing as the power of Jesus to heal the sick and the afflicted in answer to believing prayer (Matthew 8:16-17, James 5:16, Acts 3:16).
