In 1996, inspired by the motto “If not us, who? If not now, when?” and shaped by years of community and ministry service, Marvin and Karla Smith founded Fired-Up! with a clear mission: to meet the needs of people through faith, service, and Christ-centered leadership.
Born from a passion to make a lasting difference in the lives of others, Fired-Up! grew into a movement committed to developing, equipping, and empowering servant leaders to follow Jesus Christ, serve others, and live with faith, purpose, and integrity.
Through gatherings both small and large, Fired-Up! creates practical and engaging environments where people can grow, share openly, listen deeply, explore ideas, and seek biblical truth together.
Today, Fired-Up! continues as a living and growing body of believers committed to following Jesus by learning and living the Word of God. At its core is the conviction that the Church is not confined to a building—it comes alive wherever believers gather in the name of Jesus.
Rooted in the fellowship modeled in Acts 2:42–47, Fired-Up! encourages believers to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, grow in relationship with one another, and faithfully live out their God-given purpose.
