Leadership

Official business of the The Foursquare Gospel is conducted by the president, the board of directors, the Foursquare cabinet and the Foursquare executive council. According to the bylaws, the president is elected for a 5-year term and may be re-elected for an additional 5-year term. The president is the "pastor" of the denomination, giving spiritual and administrative oversight.
