What the Foursquare believesThe Foursquare Church believes in the following: [12]

- The Trinity
- The atoning death of Christ for sinners
- Salvation through the grace of God in the Lord Jesus Christ
- The necessity of sincere repentance and acceptance of Christ
- The new birth (Sanctification)
- The daily growth through power, prayer, love and service
- Baptism by immersion
- Communion / Lord's Supper
- The baptism of the Holy Spirit
- The gifts and fruits of the Spirit
- Divine healing
- The imminent return of Jesus Christ
- Final judgment
- Evangelism emphasized in discipleship
- Tithing and offerings
- Church relationship—It is a sacred duty to identify oneself with a congregation of believers to worship God, observe the ordinances of Christ, exhort and support others, labor for the salvation of others, and work together to advance the Lord’s Kingdom.
- Civil government—Civil government is by divine appointment and civil laws should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God.
- Heaven—Heaven is the glorious habitation of the living God and the eternal home of born-again believers.
- Hell—Hell is a place of darkness, deepest sorrow and unquenchable fire, which was not prepared for man but for the devil and his angels; yet it will become the place of eternal separation from God for all who reject Christ as Savior.
- Foursquare emphasizes a whole-hearted relationship with God, a means of talking to God through prayer, meditation, and fasting, along with social service for and through Christ.
