As 2024 comes to a close and as 2025 is front and center on the horizon, it’s always good to remind us of Candlewood Church’s past, our present and our future.
“Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord.”
– Psalm 107:43
5051 F Street has exceeded any of our hopes, our prayers and our faith. We have prayed for many years that our present location would be a “light on the hill” that would reflect the glory of the Lord. We have prayed for this place to be a refuge for those that are seeking after God, a place where people would find hope and healing for their weary souls and “to God be the glory” those prayers have been answered.
