Our mission centers on winning lost souls to Christ, guiding individuals to discover God's purpose for their lives, and nurturing spiritual growth through community and service. Affiliated with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel since its founding in California in 1923, we emphasize disciple-making, faithful ministry, and servant leadership. Our congregation comprises diverse individuals united by a shared commitment to worship in spirit and truth. We offer weekly worship services, small group gatherings, and outreach programs like Operation Christmas Child to serve both local and global communities.Our core values drive us to strengthen marriages, support singles, and empower ordinary people to achieve extraordinary results through Christ's ministry. With a physical presence in north Clackamas County near I-205, we welcome all backgrounds to explore faith beyond traditional religious frameworks. Our history of renewal meetings and community engagement reflects our dedication to spiritual transformation. Through online resources, a Christian bookstore, and prayer teams, we extend our ministry beyond Sunday services. Our leadership team, including Pastors Steve & Emily Hula, brings decades of experience in pastoral care and community outreach.
