The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel permits military service and does not teach pacifism or conscientious objector status as mandatory. The Church affirms that civil government has the responsibility to maintain order and protect citizens, and that military service can be a legitimate calling for believers. Christians are encouraged to be law-abiding citizens and to respect governmental authority.

While the Church emphasizes Christian virtues of peace and love, it does not teach that all violence is sinful or that Christians cannot serve in the military. The Church implicitly affirms just war principles and does not view Christians serving in the armed forces as compromised in their faith. Believers in the military are called to maintain Christian integrity and morality in their service.
