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]
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]
FIRE consists of over 110 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.
^Although Presbyterianism itself originated in Scotland, those denominations stand out as having a more proeminent scottish heritage and/or connection with scottish presbyterian denominations.
^Those denominations allow member churches to be more diverse as regards the reformed tradition that they adhere to.
