In 1959, a Foursquare Church pastor by the name of Arthur Gerhold came to Ottawa, Kansas to plant a new congregation. He started with just a few people on the north side of town. Later that same year, the new Foursquare Church moved to the present location at 9th & Hickory Street. In 1963 Pastor Gerhold accepted a position with a church in California and Clyde Greisen came to Ottawa to serve as the new pastor.
Needing a larger space, the church made plans to build a new building, so the new chapel was finished in 2008. In due course, we changed our name from Community Foursquare Church to Community Foursquare Chapel.
Go to the Foursquare International website for more information about our denomination.
Over the past 50 years of our existence, God has truly blessed us in many ways. For all that He has given, we give Him all the the praise and glory. In God we do trust for the future growth of our congregation.
