Values central to the life, mission and vision of The Foursquare Church.
Christ-Centered
Worship
We prioritize joyous worship, honoring the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit as we extol the life and love of our Lord
Jesus Christ (Romans 11:36-12:1-2).
We hold to the creeds
asserting Jesus as God’s virgin-born Son--His sinless life, atoning
death and literal resurrection providing salvation (Acts 4:12).
We
focus a Christ-honoring, grace-based preaching and teaching ministry
rooted in the authority of God’s eternal Word, the Holy Bible (2 Timothy
3:16).
Church Health and Biblical Balance
We
prioritize a personal and church lifestyle of vital joy and hope as
Christ and His kingdom are described in John 10:10, Romans 14:17 and
15:13.
We promote creative personal and church ministry that
spreads the Gospel meets human need and multiplies life-begetting
ministries (Phil. 1:9-11).
We prioritize passion with order in
worship, biblical grace with obedience in lifestyle, with liberty,
wisdom and charity in all things (1 Corinthians 13:13; 14:40).
We
embrace all who love Christ, pursuing our distinct sense of mission and
values, while affirming the whole church beyond our ranks (Philippians
2:1-10).
Spirit-Filled Discipleship
We
prioritize the apostolic plan for discipleship as in Acts 8:14-17;
19:1-6, calling believers to decisively open to the Holy Spirit’s
fullness and fruit.
We acknowledge the distinct and ongoing
gift-giving ministry of the Spirit and instruct in how to minister in
His power to Christ’s glory (1 Corinthians 12-14).
We pursue
faith-filled prayer, intercession and spiritual warfare with Holy Spirit
enabled power and discernment as in Ephesians 6:10-20 and 1 Timothy
2:1-6.
Global Evangelism
We
prioritize the apostolic convictions in 2 Corinthians 5:14, 15; being
constrained by the love of Christ knowing eternal souls are at risk, and
commissioned by the grace of God since all who believe may be saved.
We
are constant to our founding call to worldwide, interdenominational
evangelism, proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is the Savior, Baptizer
with the Holy Spirit, Healer, and Soon-Coming King (Acts 20:27).
Fellowship
and Ministry
We prioritize planting and growing
local churches as in Acts 9:31 and Ephesians 3:14-19, that believers may
be grown, nurtured and equipped for ministry.
We cultivate
every-member ministry as in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Christ’s will being
that His church be the living evidence of His love and power to the
world.
We honor the Holy Spirit’s call to and giftings of church
leaders under Christ’s commission and lordship, irrespective of age,
gender or ethnicity (Acts 2:17-18).
Social Conscience
We
prioritize the Gospel of Jesus Christ as God’s power unto salvation for
all, begetting works of compassion, justice and human aid (Matthew
5:13-16).
We place high value on the sanctity of human life, of
biblical marriage and morality, and we welcome ethnic diversity (Isaiah
56:7; Philippians 2:15-16).
We accept the timeless purpose of
God through his ancient people Israel, and reject anti-Semitism and all
ethnic discrimination (Romans 11:11-27; Acts 17:26).
Jesus Christ the Saviour
