Foursquare Movement

The Foursquare Movement was a Christian renewal movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasizing a personal, vibrant faith experience. It focused on “foursquare” beliefs: Jesus as Savior, Spirit, Healer, and Soon-Coming King. The movement promoted spiritual renewal, holiness, and active evangelism, revitalizing Protestant churches by encouraging believers to experience and share their faith dynamically. Rooted in Pentecostalism, it influenced the revival of charismatic worship and emphasized the importance of the Holy Spirit’s power in daily life. Overall, it aimed to renew personal faith and church engagement through a balanced focus on salvation, holiness, and eschatological hope.
