WILLAMETTE DISTRICT WEBSITE WELCOME
Welcome!

The Foursquare Church is a family of churches that grew out of the ministry of Aimee Semple McPherson, dedicated to the purpose of worldwide, interdenominational evangelism. Since it’s founding in 1923, the church has grown to a constituency of 5 million, meeting in 35,223 churches and meeting places in 130 countries of the world. In the United States, the approximately 2,000 churches are organized into 70 some Districts, each under the direction of a District Supervisor.

Located in the Mid Willamette River Valley and the Central Coast region of Oregon, the Willamette District of Foursquare Churches is a growing family of 30 plus churches that have banded together to strengthen and encourage each other and to work together for the evangelization of our region. Our goal is to multiply healthy, reproducing churches that can reach the diverse population of our area with the love of Jesus.

The Divisional Superintendents facilitate our fellowship together and, under the direction of the District Supervisor, execute the governance of our churches:

Jim Holm : Capital Division Superintendent
Larry Gratreak: Mid-Valley Division Superintendent
Warren Willie: North Coast Division Superintendent
Steve Overman: McKenzie Division Superintendent

The Foursquare Central Regional Administration Center, (866-660-2722, centralrac@foursquare.org) located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serves all of the business needs of our churches.
