Are One Of The Foursquare Churches In Las Vegas Right For You

By Catherine Snyder


One of the most famous cities in the United States is a mecca for those who love to gamble and see premium live entertainment. There are so many things to do and see, people return again and again. Many people live here full time and call the city home though. These individuals don't necessarily have anything to do with the casinos and theaters located on the strip. A lot of them have children, go to work every day, and attend houses of worship regularly. For those who are relocating to the city, finding a comfortable church home can be challenging. They may have noticed the foursquare churches in Las Vegas but be unsure of what they are about.

This organization has a history that dates back to the nineteen twenties when the evangelist, Aimee Semple McPherson opened the Angelus Temple in California. McPherson preached the Gospel with Jesus as the Healer, the Baptizer, the Savior, and coming King. These were the four cornerstones on the church, and they continue today. Social and foreign ministry were at the forefront of her beliefs. During the depression, the church fed more than a million needy people.

The logo interests many people not familiar with the organization. It is based on a vision of the prophet Ezekiel when God was revealed to him as a lion, an eagle, an ox, and a man. Believers see them as the four faces of Christ. Over time these symbols have changed to what most people recognize today: the dove, the cup, the cross and the crown.

The church bases its foundation on the Good News in the New Testament, and Jesus' life, ministry, and crucifixion. They have a literal interpretation of the Bible and follow it teachings exactly. Members are baptized in water and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. They are not opposed to denominations that differ from them and are accepting of most true believers.

Evangelical ministry is an important part of their daily lives, as are formal worship services, contemplation and prayer, and witnessing to others. The church believes in a traditional kind of family structure with the husband as the head. Many believe they have the gift of speaking in spiritual language.

In keeping with the tradition of fours, they have a four pronged approach to their ministry. The pioneering stage is their church's beginning, and the second stage of leadership is built upon the first. Certain members are trained to be the leaders of the congregation and actively work within the community. The church stage emphasizes building a network of believers that spread out to the greater community. In the final stage, their church commits itself to ministering to other cultures around the world.

Their mission objectives coincide with the stages and are complementary to them. It is important to the health of the organization to create a strong leadership have actively participates in the life of the local community. It is always seeking to grow the church and increase the size of their congregations. They believe a transformational church is the ultimate goal.

For anyone interested in this denomination, believers will encourage them to come and listen to the good news and decide for themselves if this is the right path for them. Guests of all denominations and at all stages of belief are welcome.
