Denomination: International Church of the Foursquare Gospel
We are a community of grace (broken people in need of unmerited love) desiring to grow in the values of genuine worship, family, and kingdom based in the saving news (the gospel) of Jesus Christ. Take a look below for more about our mission, values, and history.
OUR Mission
God’s grace compels us to lead spiritually convinced and unconvinced people to complete commitment to Jesus Christ.
OUR VALUES
Grace | Worship | Family | Kingdom
GRACE
God loves us…
And he loves us even though we do not deserve his love because of our rebellion against him. In fact, he loves us so much that he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place – to pay the penalty for our sin. That is what the bible means by grace. It’s God’s riches at Christ’s expense. And it’s undeserved. And it has the power to change everything. If you want to read a verse or two in the Bible about it, look up Ephesians 2:4-10 or Romans 5:8.
WORSHIP God
Worship begins to happen when we respond to grace by investigating and responding to God’s great love for us. We do that by building a loving, growing relationship with him. The more we understand and experience his grace, the more we will desire to love God with all of our heart, mind, and soul. Worship includes singing, praying, and giving, but it really is a total life experience. When it comes to worship, Romans 12:1-2 help to set the foundation for us.
Become part of His FAMILY
When you respond to God’s grace, you become part of a new family – the family of God (see John 1:12 & Matthew 12:46-50). By family, we mean that we belong to one another and that we are designed to do the Jesus-centered life together — not alone or apart. We want to grow in our love for one another as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.
Extend His KINGDOM
When we use the term Kingdom, we are talking about sharing God’s transforming grace with others around us, in the city, and around the world, just as God shared it with us in his Son, Jesus Christ. This includes both acts of mercy and justice as well as verbally telling people about Jesus Christ and how they can be saved by his life, death, and resurrection. Want to read for yourself what Jesus has to say about the Kingdom of God? Check out Mark 1:15, Matthew 6:10, and Matthew 6:33. Another set of foundational verses for us in this area is 2 Corinthians 5:17-19.
