We believe that ALL young men and women can learn, thrive and grow in communities of support and faith
We believe that all young men and women are in need of friendship, guidance, mentoring, and encouragement
We believe that God wants to raise up a new generation of young men and women who walk with integrity in everything they do
We believe Jesus moves in young men and women and in places that are often overlooked by society (underserved cities, streets, and neighborhoods)
We believe that church does not just take place on Sunday’s and in between four walls and a roof
Fireside was born out of conversations a group of men had around the fire…around something deeper, mythic, and holy. It was born from a place where relationship and the love of God took precedent over religion. It was born from men encouraging each other (IGNITE), rallying around each other (ENGAGE), connecting (SHOW UP), and going after the heart of God. It was born to be different, to do sport “different,” to do leadership different, to do faith different. We are not here to keep track of wins and losses. We are here to build up great leaders who will change the world in the name of Jesus.
We currently work with elementary, middle, and high school students in Santa Ana, Orange, and Riverside, California. In 2026 and beyond we are looking at expansion opportunities with the right partners who share our values and love for Jesus.
