The Story Behind Our Name
Originally beginning as a small home bible study, we saw a beautiful journey of spiritual growth and transformation begin to unfold as God called others to grow in His Word. And as it grew, we prayed for a name that would define and express the purpose and identify of a ministry that God was transforming into something amazing. Then one day it came to be. Watch the video and find out the amazing story behind our name.
A Snapshot
of What Was
Here's a look back at Charcoal Fire Bible Study back in the day when it was the Monday Night Study. Pastor Bill and Diana opened their home, and as you can see, we quickly outgrew that location.
Such amazing times. It's even more amazing to see how the Lord has touched so many people - now globally through this ministry.
Charcoal Fire
Jack Perez, a 12th grade alumni of Pastor Bill’s, blessed him with this four-foot original Charcoal Fire acrylic painting he created. A special touch he added are the three fish, representing the three times Jesus said to Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"
