Basic Doctrines and Beliefs

Life Foursquare Church is a member of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. We are an interdenominational fellowship that is fundamental and unapologetic in our presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a day when diluted messages are producing deluded people, we stress a straightforward proclamation of the Word of God, emphasizing what we consider to be the foundational truths of Jesus Christ for those who believe…

Cross Jesus Christ – the Savior
Dove Jesus Christ – the Baptizer with the Holy Spirit
Cup Jesus Christ – the Healer
Crown Jesus Christ – the Soon-Coming King

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV)

As a New Testament church, we emphasize:

• The Bible as the foundation for Christian living.
  Whenever and wherever the Word of God is neglected or ignored, error and imbalance are close behind.
• Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, acknowledging Him as the Source of our salvation and the Resource for power-filled living!
• The presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit, who comes to glorify and magnify Jesus, lifting Him up so that all men will be drawn into the Kingdom.
  We believe it is His indwelling presence in our lives that brings us into fulfillment and fruitfulness.
• Interdenominational fellowship with all members of the Christian faith.
  We recognize that those who belong to Jesus are all members of the same Body of Christ, though we may go by different names and points of emphasis.
• The ministry and authority of the believer.
  We have been called and equipped to extend the perimeters of the Kingdom of God by living power-filled lives.

As a Bible-believing church, we stand on these foundational truths:

– Repentance and Forgiveness

All men need forgiveness for sin. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Jesus told us to “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). We believe that all men enter the kingdom of God only through a born-again experience, accepting Jesus Christ as Savior (John 3:3-5, Romans 10:9-11).

– Water Baptism

After declaring Him Lord of your life, Jesus commands that we follow Him in water baptism: a public declaration of our commitment to a new way of life, a farewell to an old way of thinking, and a signpost of a life-changing decision (Matthew 28:19-20, Romans 6:3-8).

– Baptism in the Holy Spirit

When Jesus left, He promised to send us another Comforter Who would live in us, lead us, guide us into truth, and empower us for service (Matthew 3:11, Acts 1:5,8, Luke 11:9-13).

– Healing and Deliverance

We believe in divine healing as the power of Jesus to heal the sick and the afflicted in answer to believing prayer (Matthew 8:16-17, James 5:16, Acts 3:16).

In essentials, unity;
in non-essentials, liberty;
in all things, love!

The Harvest
The Harvest is important to Jesus and it is important to us (Matthew 9:37-38)! Jesus compared His work of bringing people into the Kingdom of God with that of farmers harvesting their crops and bringing them into a storehouse. We strive to join Jesus in His work to bring individuals into a living, vibrant relationship with the Creator of us all! Much of our ministry here revolves around helping people get connected in joyful relationship with God, become strong in their knowledge of His Word, then become effective in communicating that relationship with others.

Our Life statement
Draw near to God and do everything He says!

Our Life mission
We live to know Him more, which is true worship.In knowing Him more we draw nearer to each other, which is true fellowship. Then Finding ourselves in Him, and our place in His body, we introduce others to the God who wants to be known to all, which is true stewardship.

The Issues of Life
Worship is a priority; God’s Word is our authority; God’s love for our wholeness; the family as Father’s basic unit; racial, gender, and social harmony in His kingdom; the unity of Christ’s body; constant prayer for fruitfulness; Spirit-filled witness; Spirit-led service; the vitality of spiritual language; a commitment to spiritual warfare; restitution for wrongdoing wherever possible; a spirit of giving and soundness of stewardship; an adherence to sound doctrine.
