Gender
“There is neither…male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” –Galatians 3:28 (NKJV)
The Foursquare Church was established in 1923 by a woman named Aimee Semple McPherson. As nearly 37 percent of ministers are female in The Foursquare Church, Women in Ministry Leadership (WIML) launched to ensure Foursquare is encouraging both women and men to become credentialed ministers.
WIML is ensuring everyone called by God has the opportunity for training and full release into that calling without limitation. To learn more about Foursquare’s position on women in leadership get the book Women in Leadership Ministry.

2012 Women in Ministry Leadership Alabaster House Legacy Scholarships
On Feb. 1, Foursquare’s Women in Ministry Leadership opened the application process for the 2012 Alabaster Legacy Scholarships.
In the spirit of meeting President Glenn Burris’ five target vision, Foursquare continues to move forward in strategic discipleship of multigenerational, multicultural and gender. In Target 1: Leaders of his Five Targets vision statement, Burris states, “We will not build a strong and sustainable ministry unless we have healthy, reproducing leaders.”
The Alabaster House Legacy Scholarships are one mode by which Foursquare is carrying out this vision. The scholarships are intended for women who are focused on pre-service training for vocational ministry.
