Our
Vision
The vision
of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel (ICFG)
is to present Jesus Christ, God's Son, to every person in every
culture and nation as The Savior, The Baptizer with the Holy
Spirit, The Healer, and The Soon-Coming King. Since its founding,
in 1923, that vision has been realized through evangelizing
the lost and establishing local congregations in the United
States and abroad, through the nurturing and training of believers
into leadership on all levels of Church life, and in cooperation
with other members of the Body of Christ at large in the fellowship
of the Gospel and the fulfillment of the Biblical mandate to
be "light" and "salt" on the earth.
Today, the
number of members and adherents in the Foursquare Church worldwide
now stands at 3,331,561 worshiping in 26,139 churches and meeting
places in 107 countries. At the end of the reporting year, there
were 37,919 Foursquare ministers and workers.
The Foursquare
Church actively participates in the National Association of
Evangelicals, The American Bible Society, Pentecostal/Charismatic
Churches of North America, the Pentecostal World Conference,
and the Evangelical Fellowship of Missions Agencies. Many of
its leaders, pastors and members serve on the executive boards
and committees of para-church agencies and endeavors, such as
the Lausanne Conference on World Evangelization and the America
2000 Outreach.
