As a denomination, The Foursquare Church has a unique history that stems from missions and evangelism. It began as a powerful evangelistic movement and spread throughout the nations to become the global family it is today.
Foursquare began in 1923, when our founder, Aimee Semple McPherson, opened the first Foursquare church in Los Angeles. Today, Foursquare has over 8.8 million members in over 90,000 churches across 146 nations.
With a desire for global missions and evangelism, and motivated by the Great Commission to make disciples around the world, Foursquare empowers every believer to expand God's kingdom. To achieve continual, Christ-centered growth, Foursquare partners with churches around the world through leadership development, church multiplication, and church health strategies.
As a movement, Foursquare recognizes that things change: society, culture, and contexts. Foursquare is committed to be in continual motion and relationship ministry, ready to go wherever God is leading. While Foursquare has a flexible and adaptable approach of ministry, the message is sacred. "Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever." His gospel never changes; it's goodness never diminishes. We may go to many places. We may not all look the same. But our message stays true to God's word.
