The Fellowship of Independent Reformed Evangelicals (FIRE) is a Reformed Baptist network of churches founded in 2000. There are congregations in the United States and abroad. It provides a platform for fellowship, cooperation, and mission sending. All ministry, cooperation, missions, and meetings are at the initiative of member churches.[1]
Doctrine
The Denomination adheres to both the First London Baptist Confession & Second London Baptist Confession, and it also affirm the Five Solas of the Reformation:
- Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone
- Sola Fide - Faith Alone
- Soli Deo Gloria - the Glory of God Alone
- Solus Christus - Christ Alone
- Sola Gratia - Grace Alone [2]
A church elder in the denomination's Campbelltown, Pennsylvania church described his church as "very traditionally-minded", and as "going back to basics and returning to what a traditional church is".[3]
Members
FIRE consists of over 120 churches in the United States and internationally in Brazil, Canada, Spain, West Indies, Israel, Italy, India and Mauritius. While voting membership is restricted to churches, individuals also participate in this network of churches through a provision for individual membership.
Missions
Member churches sponsor missionaries in the Philippines, Spain, France, Mexico, Montenegro, South Africa, Israel, Mozambique, Ireland.[4]
