The Foursquare Church has added four members to its board of directors to help guide the administration and missional effectiveness of the Foursquare movement.
Corporate Secretary and Vice President of Administrative Operations Adam Davidson praised the new members for their willingness to serve and help guide the church into the future.
“One of the reasons we are so effective as a church is our firm belief that we are a family, working together to advance the Great Commission,” Adam says. “And, like any family, it takes input from all members to be successful.”
Selected by a vote of the accredited ministers of their districts this spring, the new members are already active as non-voting observers. Their five-year terms begin on September 1, 2024.
The new directors include two men and two women. Learn more about their backgrounds and why they are eager to serve on the board.

Brandon is the son of Elwin Ahu, founding pastor of Metro Christian Church (Honolulu Metropolitan Foursquare Church) in Honolulu. Ahu joins the board after a two-year term (2021-2023) as the Pacific District’s youth leadership representative on the Foursquare cabinet. He expresses excitement about the opportunity to serve the entire Foursquare, not just his church or district.
“I’m open to serving wherever I’m needed on the board,” Brandon says. “I’m good at galvanizing people toward a common goal, having faith to believe in what God is doing, and encouraging people on our team to do their best.”
Foursquare Pastor says members of our denomination should know that the board is comprised of practitioners who are out in the field serving in ministry on a weekly basis. After attending his first meeting in late June, Brandon says he found a lot to take in as he got to know other board members.
“I was grateful to be warmly welcomed and excited to serve with Spirit-filled leaders from across the country,” Brandon adds.
Brandon is a graduate of the University of Southern California and Fuller Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Kara, are the parents of two “amazing” children.
