Foursquare
The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel was founded by evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in Los Angeles in 1923. The 'Foursquare' refers to four ministries of Jesus: Savior, Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, Healer, and Coming King. A pioneer Pentecostal denomination, Foursquare is known for innovative worship, evangelism, and a commitment to church planting worldwide.
