Women in Leadership

The well Foursquare Church believes in the empowerment of women

100 years ago, in Southern California, Aimee Semple McPherson, founded a movement that would become the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. The Well Foursquare Church belongs to this denomination, and along with this, as a church The Well endorses and believes wholeheartedly through scriptural evidence that women belong in ministry. This is a unique value that Foursquare as a whole believes.

As a church, The Well embodies this belief. For instance, co-founder of the Well Foursquare Church, Erin Edquist is a licensed and ordained minister of Foursquare as she helps pastor the church alongside her husband Erick Edquist.

For more information, we have listed several resources regarding the Biblical text that supports the Foursquare Distinctive: Empowering Leadership.
