B4Church is part of a family of churches known as the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. Foursquare churches in the US are overseen by district supervisors, and while the district supervisor makes decisions to appoint and/or remove pastors in each local church, the financial health of the church is supported and overseen by a Church Council. This group of volunteers from the congregation are carefully vetted and go through a process of prayer and careful consideration. Foursquare guidelines require council members to be confirmed by congregational vote, and each person serves a maximum of two consecutive two-year terms.
In larger Foursquare churches, since it is rare for potential council members to have personal relationships with a majority of the congregation, the Lead Pastor and Executive Team vet candidates and present them to the church for a vote of confirmation. Candidates are considered on the basis of their personal faith story and passion for Jesus & His church, consistent commitment to giving and service at B4, and appropriate experience and skills to help oversee the fiduciary life of the church.
