God, Family, Purpose
Our Story
In 1979, a few families along with a senior pastor founded Pioneer Church in a sleepy town between Dallas and Fort Worth. The church outgrew their property and moved to their current location in 1981 and became known as Abundant Life Assembly of God. As the city of Grapevine expanded, so did the church. The name has changed to Foundations Church. After 40 years of ministry, Foundations Church influences not only the community around them, but the world.
The Three Foundations We Build:
God
We grow in God through both his word and experiencing Him.
Family
The church is a spiritual family that strengthens, develops and matures believers.
Purpose
Every believer has a purpose to fill on this earth.
Scriptural Mandate
Matthew 7:24–27
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

Our Beliefs
-
There is only one true God, and He is revealed in three persons through what is commonly known as the Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
-
As God’s son, Jesus came to earth both fully human and fully divine. The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal son of God.
-
Just as in New Testament days, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit enables believers to be witnesses and effective servants.
-
The scriptures were written through the inspiration of God. As truth without error, the Bible declares God’s design and plan for mankind.
-
Sin is separation from God. Although man was created in God’s image, man willingly fell to sin, which introduced evil and death – both physical and spiritual – into the world.
-
In the free gift of salvation, God offers every person the opportunity for restored fellowship with Him through accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness for sin.
-
Water baptism by immersion, which occurs after a person has repented of his sins and received the gift of salvation, is a symbolic declaration that a believer has died with Christ and has been raised from that death to live a new life in Christ.
-
The church – both locally and globally – is a community of fellow believers that exists to equip the saints for works of service and to share the gospel message with every nation, tribe, people and language.
