At TVWC we support one another as together we pursue our faith and face the challenges of life. We believe God has a plan for our lives and we are dedicated to following the teachings of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus taught us that the world would know we are His followers because we love each other. That's where we're headed: growing in His love and sharing that love with others. That's why our church has a "family feel."
As a FOURSQUARE GOSPEL CHURCH, we are positioned to serve Meridian, Idaho, and the growing Treasure Valley. These are our core values and beliefs...
Our Mission
We exist as a local congregation to witness to the world of God's love as revealed in The Savior, The Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, The Healer, and The Soon-Coming King; and we live to serve our community in His same love and power, knowing He is "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Heb. 13:8).
We are part of the family of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
The Foursquare symbols stand for Jesus Christ as:
The Savior
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisment for our peace was upon Him..." - Isaiah 53:5 (Titus 2:14, Is. 55:7, Heb. 7:25, Is. 1:18)
The Baptizer with the Holy Spirit
"For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit...you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." - Acts 1:5,8 (Jn. 14:16-17, Acts 2:4, Acts 8:17, Acts 10:44-46, 1 Cor. 3:16)
The Healer
"He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses..." - Matthew 8:17 (Mk. 16:17-18, Mt. 9:5-6, Acts 4:29-30)
The Soon-Coming King
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout...the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (Titus 2:12-13, Mt. 24:36-44, Heb. 9:28, Lk. 19:13, Lk. 12:35-37.)
We're a relationship-oriented church, growing in God's love as a family.
In our church family, you'll find:
• a loving, casual atmosphere where everyone's welcome!
• contemporary Spirit-filled music and worship
• practical messages drawn from the Bible
• a desire to let God help us in our daily lives
• a desire to live life with divine purpose - to bring glory to God
What We Believe
We seek to teach the Word of God and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, shaping and equipping our church family so that believers will be nourished and empowered to fulfill their God-ordained purpose and ministry. We seek to prepare people who care for one another, and who sensitively reach out to our community that all may be saved, being brought to a living faith in Christ as Savior and Lord.
