Officially the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, the Foursquare Church was founded in Los Angeles, California, by Aimee Semple McPherson in 1923. Amidst the revival days of the early 1900's, this fellowship of believers was born, determined to proclaim the solid scriptural core of Pentecostal renewal, avoiding the extremes of fanaticism on one hand and materialism on the other. God in His grace has allowed us to grow from that one local fellowship to some 2,000 churches in the United States and Canada, with a missionary outreach in 65 countries. These numbers are fast increasing. We have no desire to compete or compare. We rejoice for every body of believers who lifts the blood-stained banner of Jesus. The Foursquare Church is a member of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) and as a Pentecostal Church, affiliated with the Pentecostal Fellowship of North America (PFNA). Our purpose is to worship God with our lips and our lives, to minister to one another in the sharing strength, and to reach out by declaring and demonstrating the reality of Jesus. The term "Foursquare" stands for the four-fold ministry of Jesus Christ as the Savior (Rom.10:9), Baptizer with the Holy Ghost (Luke 3:16), Healer (I Peter 2:24), and coming King (Acts 1:11).
