The mission of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel (ICFG) is to present Jesus Christ, God's son, to every person in every culture and nation as The Redeemer, The Great Physician, The Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, and The Soon-Coming King. Since its founding, in 1923, that vision has been realized through evangelizing the lost and establishing local congregations in the United States and abroad, through the nurturing and training of believers into leadership on all levels of Church life, and in cooperation with other members of the Body of Christ at large in the fellowship of the Gospel and the fulfillment of the Biblical mandate to be "light" and "salt" on the earth.
