Welcome to the (un)Official Web Site for
Aimee Semple McPherson
"As I ponder and pray in the stillness, I dream as a dreamer of dreams.
A steepled church stands before me -- a church with open doors.
Within it I see the preacher stand; hear his voice in earnest call.
But 'tis the throng that flows through the street outside that holds my anxious gaze."5
Aimee Semple McPherson
Born October 9, 1890, Aimee Semple McPherson was a lifetime of contradictions. On one hand, Aimee became the first woman to preach a sermon over the radio, and on the other, she would also become the center of a city wide controversy when she claimed she was kidnapped and tortured after disappearing in May of 1926, only to reappear almost five weeks later. While her legacy may be tainted by scandal, divorce and self promotion, it lives on in the Angelus Temple and the Foursquare Church she founded in 1927.
