Welcome to Hope Centre!
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever”, Hebrews 13:8. We believe that the power present with the apostles in the New Testament days is available to us today – that Jesus performed miracles of healing and redemption then, so He is able to do those same miracles in our lives today.
The “Foursquare” Gospel simply pictures the four ministries of our Lord: Savior (Romans 10:9), Healer (1 Peter 2:23 & 24), Baptizer with the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:16) and Coming King (Acts 1:11). Together, they provide a framework by which Jesus is the answer to our every need. He is the answer to our completeness – our wholeness. For further information please visit The Foursquare Church.
The Foursquare Church — officially the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel was founded in Los Angeles, California by Aimee Semple McPherson in 1923.
Amid the revival days of the early 1900’s this fellowship of believers was born, determined to proclaim the solid scriptural core of Pentecostal renewal, avoiding the extremes of fanaticism on one hand and materialism on the other.
God, in His grace, has allowed us to grow from the one local fellowship to nearly 2100 churches in the United States and Canada. The Foursquare Church has also been established in over 110 countries of the world. These numbers are rapidly increasing.
We have no desire to compete or compare. WE rejoice for everybody of believers which lifts the blood stained banner of Jesus Christ. The Foursquare Church is a member of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) and as a Pentecostal-Charismatic Churches of North America (PCCNA) and the Pentecostal World Conference.
The Savior. We believe that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, took our place, and with His life’s blood purchased the pardon for all who believe in Him. (John 316; Titus 2:14)
Divine Healing. We believe that divine healing is the power of Jesus Christ to heal the sick in answer to the prayer of faith; He, who does not change, is still willing and able to heal the body, as well as the soul and spirit in answer to faith. (Mark 16:17, 18; James 5:14-16)
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit. We belive that the baptism in the Holy Spirit empowers believers to exalt Jesus, to live lives of holiness, and to be witnesses of God’s saving grace; we expct the Spirit’s incoming to be after the same manner as that in which He came upon believers in the days of the Early Church (Acts 1:5, 8; 2:4).
The coming King. We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent; the certainty of His coming and the fact that no man knows the hour of His coming prompt our evangelistic efforts; that the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven, the dead in Christ shall rise, and the redeemed will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. (Matthew 24:36, 42, 44; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17)
