I don't know what all these one star reviews are, but this place is absolutely nice and they actually care about you. And all of these one star reviews say I took my kids in blah, blah, blah, you take your kids and the people there probably weren't actually a follower of christ, it's a nice and beautiful place and and I highly recommend it to anybody that is in the Gettysburg area.

Came to the 1030am service this morning. I've been looking for a church with a kids program and the website looked great! This place is huge and very intimidating, but they have love on their building how bad can it be? I saw these computer things for kids check in and realized I needed help. I walked up to the front desk where 2 women looked at me then turned away to continue their conversation with each other. I then walked over to the kids door where a man just scowled at me. I've been searching for a church for months and started crying in the bust lobby because I'm absolutely defeated. It shouldn't be this hard to be a good Christian mom! At least 50 people of this church walked by a crying mom and her toddler in their own lobby and didn't offer a single word. I was never able to figure out how to check in my kid, but the first 15 mins told me this is a club I wasn't invited to.

Worship service is full of disorder and weak shallow preaching designed to manipulate your emotions. Embarrassing Read the book, Sister Sinner about the founder of the Foursquare churches and you will understand.

I have visited this church three weeks now and each and every single time was greeted with smiles , good wishes. The pastor and all I have heard teach are spirit filled. Meaning ? They let God teach / speak through them. The worship is beautiful! God indeed is within these walls. Come and let Him touch your heart! Thank You Heavenly Father for this church ~ God's continued blessings I pray for all.

My last review I deleted. I allowed the church hurt I felt to navigate how I chose to perceive Gettysburg Foursquare Church. When in reality, the leaders of this church helped me a lot in understanding what Christlikeness really looks like. They're not perfect, but to expect perfection from any church is wrong. The people here are wonderful imperfect people. Gettysburg may not be my home anymore, but I'm grateful for every person I have encountered who helped point me closer to the love of God. Thank you Pastor Geri and Pastor Mark for loving like Jesus does.

We love everything about Gettysburg Foursquare! We are seasonal workampers and are here from April 1-November 1. We've been blessed to be a part of the worship and teaching on Sundays! Everyone is so friendly, and we are getting solid Biblical teaching. We're so blessed to get to fellowship with this body of believers for the time we are here! Everyone is welcome! Please join us!

My family and I began watching the services for Gettysburg Foursquare online during the pandemic and decided to attend in person for the first time on Christmas in 2020. We immediately felt welcomed by the church family and were blow away at the presence of Jesus’s love that infiltrates the entire congregation. We have 3 small children and they offered Kid’s services where they get to go and learn about passages that make sense to them and have so much fun during them. The worship team is amazing and the music will leave you singing and worshiping God all week long, even my two year old will randomly start singing the songs. I can’t say enough good things about this church and if you are looking for a new Church family or have never attended church at all please come join our family and experience all the love and good God will bring to your life.

Once a month Foursquare Church lets Mission of Mercy use their lovely church for a free community clinic. They have Doctors that volunteer to treat anyone that needs to see a Doctor and also dental. Donations are very appreciated. They also provide meds when available without charge. God bless the Church and these Wonderful Doctors.

Seems like a very nice place to worship the Lord, it's a Bible believing Jesus believing church!

As a visitor I wasn't greeted as one. It was more like a rock concert with the music then worship. It was too loud and I actually feel like I could have lost my hearing if I came regularly. There was no information given to me or any information to know what Foursquare believes. I have no idea of the doctrine at this church so I can't imagine attending regularly.

It's an asesome church. I went a couple of times during my intenship here at gettysburg. I wanted to find a church and I definately found a freat one. They do have a lot of music and than they jump into the message. The service is too short in my opinion. I did not notified that I was a visitor. They have to be very alert and friendly with visitors. (Aproch them without waiting for them to let you know).
