On SW Walker Road in Beaverton, Oregon, B4Church - the familiar name for Beaverton Foursquare Church - gathers a multi-generational community around four words the leadership has made the heartbeat of everything they do: hope, healing, freedom, and flourishing. Part of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, B4 is a Spirit-shaped congregation that pairs contemporary worship with intergenerational life, English and Spanish services, neighborhood-based recovery ministries, and a long-running partnership with two schools for children in India.
Sundays at 9 + 11 AM, In-Person or Online
Two identical Sunday services are offered at 9 AM and 11 AM, both held in the main building and both available to watch live on YouTube. Centro Victoria, the church's Spanish-language congregation, also meets on Sundays at 11 AM. Worship is contemporary and charismatic - the music side of the church runs through a creative team called B4 Creative, which produces original songs under the name Shelter Music and hosts quarterly worship nights. Visitors are welcomed at the Welcome Center in the middle of the commons, and anyone can arrive a few minutes early to grab coffee, drop off kids, and find a seat.
The Four Marks: Hope, Healing, Freedom, Flourishing
B4's identity is rooted in four marks of Christ-like maturity that show up across the church's teaching, small groups, and pastoral care.
- Hope is in Jesus as Savior, and B4 sees its people as ambassadors of hopeful reconciliation in a hurting city.
- Healing is the work of making whole - praying for and ministering to broken hearts, minds, and bodies, often through the gateway of forgiveness.
- Freedom comes through faith in Christ's victory on the cross, with prayer and fasting treated as serious practices for breaking spiritual strongholds.
- Flourishing is the goal: Spirit-filled disciples who live God-discovering lives of generosity and grace, overflowing as mirrors of God's love.
The same themes shape the baptism class, the newcomers' resources, and the support ministries - hope and healing are not slogans but the lens through which B4 talks about everything from grief to addiction to marriage.
Centro Victoria: The Spanish-Language Congregation
Centro Victoria describes itself as an imperfect church loved by a perfect God. The heart of the ministry is that people can know God, find freedom, discover their purpose, and make a difference. Centro Victoria meets at 11 AM on Sundays as part of the B4 family, and Alpha, the church's introductory exploration of Christianity, is offered in both English and Spanish.
All Nations Connect
All Nations Connect seeks to equip people of every background, color, and ethnicity to love God and love one another. The ministry runs intercultural groups, language-specific small groups, and provides translation of Sunday sermons in multiple languages. On Sunday mornings at 10 AM, a weekly gathering called Culture Connect gives people a place to connect across cultural lines.
B4 Kids: Newborn through 5th Grade
B4 Kids welcomes children from babies through fifth grade at both the 9 AM and 11 AM services. Services are held in two buildings: the East Building and the South Building. Babies through 2-year-olds meet upstairs in the South Building; preschool is downstairs in the same building. Kinder and first grade gather in the teal doors upstairs in the South Building. Second and third grades use the first entrance of the East Building, and fourth and fifth grades use the second entrance of the East Building.
Preschool-aged children and up can expect time to play, worship, learn a Bible story, and do fun activities in small groups; babies and toddlers are cared for according to their needs. Check-in opens 20 minutes before service and uses a phone-number kiosk that prints matching parent and child tags. Children who have attended before can simply show up; first-time families can fill out a New Family Connect Form so their information is already in the system when they arrive. If a child develops a fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or shows other symptoms of illness, the team cares for the child in a separate space until a parent arrives.
B4 Youth: Middle School and High School
B4 Youth has two tracks designed to help students behold Jesus, belong in community, and become people who love their city.
- Middle School (6th-8th grade): Sunday service at 9 AM in The Loft, and Tuesday midweek at 7 PM in The Loft. There is space for fun, food, friends, and meaningful conversations about life and Jesus.
- High School (9th-12th grade): Sunday mornings feature coffee and donuts at 10 AM in the Fireside Room (N202, at the top of the Commons staircase in the North Building). Tuesday nights start at 6:30 PM in The Gym and include dinner, games, Bible teaching, worship, and conversation.
Both groups have their own Instagram presence, and parents can sign up for youth email updates through the church's registrations.
B4 Young Adults (Ages 18-30)
B4 Young Adults is led by Pastor Andy Sloan and meets every Wednesday night in The Loft, upstairs in the main building. Doors open at 7 PM with dinner, followed by worship at 7:30 PM, a teaching, and group discussion. The group welcomes anyone looking for community and a deeper walk with Jesus, from high school graduates through age 30.
Adult Discipleship: Men, Women, Marriage, Prime Timers
Men at B4
Pastor Elijah Hamilton leads a Christ-centered community of men committed to authentic connection, deep-rooted spiritual formation, and serving others. Highlights include a Men's Retreat and periodic men's breakfasts that pair good food and coffee with worship and conversation.
Women at B4
Pastor Krissy Hires oversees a women's ministry designed to draw women into deep community through Bible studies, events, and groups. The Women's Bible Study meets every other week to study the Fruits of the Spirit, with other events added through the year.
Marriage
Pastor Debi Carroll leads the Marriage Ministry, which exists to help couples embrace God's design for marriage at every stage. The ministry hosts events and courses and offers pastoral counseling as needed.
Prime Timers
Prime Timers is for those 65 and over and typically meets on the second or third Wednesday of the month from September through June for a monthly luncheon. The group also gathers for various events throughout the year and a yearly retreat.
Groups, Alpha, and Baptisms
Small groups are central to life at B4: groups meet in homes and around the city across schedules and life stages, and language-specific groups give space for faith conversations in Spanish and other languages. Alpha, a nine-week experience with dinner, a short film, and open conversation, returns in the fall in both English and Spanish. Complimentary childcare is available during Alpha for kids from birth through 5th grade, and midway through the course the group goes on a weekend retreat. Baptisms are offered regularly throughout the year as a public next step for those ready to declare faith in Jesus.
Support Ministries
B4 hosts four ongoing, faith-based recovery and care ministries, each meeting in person every week. Together they cover some of the heaviest struggles a community can carry.
- Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered addiction recovery program for anyone battling addiction and for the families of addicts. It meets every Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 PM in The Loft on the second floor of the North Building, with an optional dinner at 5:30 PM.
- GriefShare is a weekly ministry for those grieving the death of a loved one, recently or years ago. It meets every Monday from 6:30 to 8:30 PM in The Gym in the North Building and includes shared resources, prayer, small-group discussion, and a video teaching.
- ARMS (Abuse Recovery Ministry Services) is a ministry for those recovering from abuse, with separate tracks for women experiencing domestic abuse, men and women who have used controlling or abusive behaviors, and children who have witnessed abuse.
- HEART (Healing the Effects from Abortion-Related Trauma) is a Bible-study support group for those negatively impacted by abortion.
Shelter Music and B4 Creative
B4 Creative is the worship, production, and communications department at B4. The team's philosophy centers on two ideas: Heart and Art - loving Jesus and living in obedience to Him, and being excellent in the craft of creating services through instruments, cameras, voice, lighting, and production. Shelter Music, birthed within B4Church, exists as a creative community and a covering for local artists. Its original songs are released on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon, and Shelter hosts quarterly worship nights that run from 7 PM after doors open at 6:30 PM. The team welcomes audition inquiries from vocalists and instrumentalists wanting to serve on the weekend team.
Known By Name: Schools in India
B4's longest-running global partnership is called Known By Name, anchored in Isaiah 43:1: "I have called you by name; you are Mine." The church supports two schools in India financially and through sustained prayer. Agape Educare Kids' School, in a remote farming village in Manipur marked by poverty and ongoing tribal conflict, was founded by Leiyaphy "Aphy" Shrimphrui and now serves 52 children ages 2 through 7. Bright Hope English School, in Siliguri, West Bengal, was founded in 2008 by Bhutanese refugee Premila Ramtel and educates children from preschool through 8th grade, teaching in English, Hindi, and Bengali. Each person in the congregation is invited to receive a student card with a specific child's photo and name, praying for that child daily for a year.
Church Council and Governance
As a Foursquare church, B4 is overseen by a district supervisor who appoints and removes pastors, while a volunteer Church Council, vetted by the Lead Pastor and Executive Team and confirmed by congregational vote, oversees the church's financial health. Council members serve a maximum of two consecutive two-year terms. The current council includes Brad Nosler, Brad Wolverton, Desiree Medari, Garson Pliska, Lyle Hughes, and Therese Abrams.
First-Time Visit, Building, and Office Hours
Visitors should head to the main entrance at the back of the building and look for someone wearing a lanyard - the welcome team will introduce newcomers to people who can help them get connected. The Welcome Center sits in the middle of the commons. B4 Kids, B4 Youth, and B4 Young Adults all have dedicated spaces so families can head straight to their rooms without navigating the adult service. Office hours are 9 AM to 4 PM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with Mondays and Thursdays by appointment; the office is closed Friday and Saturday. The Worship and Creative team's quarterly worship nights and the Young Adults' Wednesday gatherings are spread across the rest of the week, and Sunday's two-service rhythm plus Centro Victoria at 11 AM give new guests multiple entry points each weekend.
