Our Pastors:
Pastor Will Fillingham and his wife of ten years, Juniece, planted Storehouse Family Worship Center in January of 2005. They have four children: Abigail, Caden, Chloe and Gavin. Both Will and Juniece play many different roles in the lives of those around them. They’re pastors with a passion for outreach, parents of four beautiful children and welcoming counselors to everyone who enters through the doors of Storehouse. Pastor Will and Juniece have a heart and vision for the local community of Fern Park. Their focus is to reach out to the working poor, a new classification of individuals in today's society; a working class employed with regular jobs although struggling to meet basic needs, due to the cost of living, job pay and other special circumstances.
Born and raised on a ranch in Montana, Pastor Will experienced the essence of hard work and dedication, which in turn began building the character that Christ would call on later, to lead others into His kingdom and pastor Storehouse.
Juniece Fillingham was raised in the mountains of North Carolina where she followed God’s calling into ministry as a youth pastor and later as a worship pastor. Pursuing her gifts of preaching and education, she went on to graduate from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1994.
Pastor Will and Juniece would like to welcome you, along with your family and friends to come and worship with us each and every Sunday at 10:00am. We are a spirit led church body who believes in the power of Jesus Christ and the healing of the Holy Spirit. Come and praise Him who supplies all our needs and heals all our wounds!
The Fine Print...More About Us:
Storehouse Family Worship Center is a Foursquare Church who shares the purpose and vision of our movement and the heart of our President, Pastor Jack Hayford. Locally, we are here to serve the needs of our community and see all people brought into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We achieve this through hands on ministry, outreach and relationship building. We are a real church with real people from all backgrounds of life and circumstances. We encourage you to read our vision and strategy as a movement below.
Vision
The vision of The Foursquare Church is to present Jesus Christ, God's Son, to every person in every culture and nation as The Savior, The Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, The Healer and The Soon-Coming King. Since the founding of The Foursquare Church in 1923, that vision has been realized through evangelizing the lost and establishing local congregations in the United States and abroad, through the nurturing and training of believers into leadership on all levels of church life, and in cooperation with other members of the body of Christ at large in the fellowship of the Gospel and the fulfillment of the biblical mandate to be "light" and "salt" on the earth.

Our Name
"Foursquare" is a Biblical term used of the tabernacle in the Book of Exodus, of the Temple of the Lord in Ezekiel 40:47, and of Heaven, as described in the book of the Revelation. The term "Foursquare Gospel" was given in the inspiration of revival to the denomination's founder, Aimee Semple McPherson, during an evangelistic campaign in Oakland, Calif., in 1922. It represents that which is equally balanced on all sides, established and enduring. Such confidence in the power of the Gospel is also expressed by the verse, Hebrews 13:8, displayed in Foursquare churches proclaiming, "Jesus Christ the Same, Yesterday and Today and Forever."
The name represents the four-fold ministries of Jesus:
•The Savior
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisment for our peace was upon Him..." -Isaiah 53:5 (Titus 2:14, Is. 55:7, Heb. 7:25, Is. 1:18)
•The Baptizer with the Holy Spirit
"For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit... you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." -Acts 1:5,8 (Jn. 14:16-17, Acts 2:4, Acts 8:17, Acts 10:44-46, 1 Cor. 3:16)
•The Healer
"He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses..." -Matthew 8:17 (Mk. 16:17-18, Mt. 9:5-6, Acts 4:29-30)
•The Soon-Coming King
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout... the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." -1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (Titus 2:12-13, Mt. 24:36-44, Heb. 9:28, Lk. 19:13, Lk. 12:35-37.)
Strategy
The strategy of The Foursquare Church is to follow the pattern of church development found in the New Testament. The Holy Spirit led the Early Church in this development. The pattern has four stages. It helps us understand where we are in the growth process and where we need to go. Each stage is different but connects closely with the others.
•Stage 1: Pioneer
The church starts when workers bring the lost to Christ and plant local congregations. The goal is responsible disciples who evangelize and reproduce themselves. The church at Thessalonica in Greece started this way (Acts 17:1-9; 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10). •
•Stage 2: Establish
The church grows stronger when workers give practical Christian teaching and train leaders. The goal is responsible, reproducing leaders who serve their families and the local church. The church on the island of Crete matured this way (Titus 1-3). •
•Stage 3: Empower
The national church organizes to govern and support itself and to do its own evangelism in a way that is sensitive to local cultures. The goal is responsible local congregations that plant other churches. Together they become a national church movement to reach the entire country. The church at Ephesus in Turkey developed and multiplied this way (Acts 19-20).
•Stage 4: Send
The national church reaches out to people of other cultures and languages. The goal is responsible national churches that send and support workers who serve other cultures and countries. In obedience to the Holy Spirit, the church at Antioch in Syria became such a church when they sent Paul and Barnabas (Acts 13:1-4).
Summary
Each national church preaches the gospel within a growing sphere of influence as it moves through the four stages. It looks forward to the day when "this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). The spirit of The Foursquare Church is loving unity. It seeks to provide affirming and freeing relationships while following New Testament order. In so doing, we carry out the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. We glorify God and advance His kingdom. * The dedication statement on the cornerstone of Angelus Temple, the first Foursquare church started January 1, 1923.

•Tithes and Offerings
We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
