FAQ about Church Membership
Why become a member? (Foursquare Bylaws, Article 13.5.E)
Becoming a member of Pasadena Foursquare Church is a way of saying, “This is my church home.” It’s a commitment to grow in faith, live in unity, and partner in God’s mission—spiritually and practically—by participating in the business and shared life of our church family. Membership is a joyful step of belonging, shared responsibility, and hope for what God is building among us.
