We believe in four essential characteristics, expressed through the acronym F.I.R.E., that will help conform our standards according to God's standards. F.I.R.E. stands for Faith, Integrity, Righteousness, and Excellence. We are a people who walk by faith, not by sight, leaning totally on God as supreme authority. We choose to make the right choices, even if God is the only one looking, which upholds our integrity. We put on God's righteousness through Christ for our lives, knowing that we are insufficient in our own selves. And because our God is a God of excellence, we are resolved to be a people of excellence in everything we do. And it's through the written, spoken and revealed Word of God that an understanding and equipping comes to execute these characteristics.
