About Us

Where we began, leads to where we're going.

Open Fire International Fellowship Church was founded by Dr. Lincoln & Apryl Coffie in November 2012. Starting out in the living room of their home, they began to see an increase in membership and moved the service into the garage. The ministry rapidly expanded, and services were moved to their first building at 322 E. Ave C in February 2013. With continued growth, 3 years later, the church moved to our current location at 1801 E. Rancier Ave in Killeen, Texas

We Are

NOT DEFINED BY COLOR, CREED, OR BACKGROUND, BUT DEFINED BY A PASSION FOR GOD, FOR LIFE, AND FOR PEOPLE. THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE A LIFE GOD-DESIGNED AND GOD-INSPIRED. THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE LOCAL CHURCH
