FIRE: In Non-Essentials Liberty

In non-essentials Liberty

As members of FIRE, we unite around the essentials of our faith and we also celebrate the liberty we have through Christ in the non-essential areas. Unity does not require identity of thought and practice. Our God is an amazing Creator. He has uniquely made each of us and gifted us in ways that complement each other. Together, we show the world a more complete picture of who Christ is.

As we share our experiences, interests and ideas, others are challenged and inspired to grow in new areas in their church and personal lives.

"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
There are different kinds of working, but the same God
works all of them in all men."
1 Corinthians 12:4-6

FIRE has no centralized structure or authority over local churches. It is a network of churches that enhances the work of each local church. Each member has complete freedom to initiate or participate in whatever projects, conferences or other activities they choose. Each project or ministry promoted through FIRE is under the oversight of a particular local church, not FIRE itself.
