Integrity
We value Integrity
God calls us to a life of Integrity
Jesus tells us to let our ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and our ‘no’ be ‘no’
We work hard, do our best, and make mistakes
We don’t need to hide our faults, we are all sinners in need of God’s grace every day of our lives
We live with Integrity
Generosity
We value generosity. We can’t outgive God, but let’s try!
God is so generous to us. God’s generosity can be seen all around us. He’s generous to give us life, to give us a beautiful place to live and work, and to give us a community to share our lives with. He even generously provides for our eternity.
John 3:16 tells us about God’s greatest act of generosity; because of His love for us, He gave us His only son to provide eternal life for us. The result of God’s generosity toward us is our desire to be generous to others to see a need, and do our best to generously meet a need.
What We Believe
This is how we view God, Jesus, the Bible, man, and many significant aspects of our faith. Firmly rooted in Scripture, our beliefs guide our decisions as a church.Our Leadership

Church CouncilWe're part of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel movement
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.
