The Power of a Changed Life

At Candlewood Church, we know that stories are powerful and when you share the story of how God has transformed your life it can transform other people’s lives and impact where they spend eternity. That’s why we encourage people to write out their Personal Faith Story, and use it as a tool when sharing their faith with others.

Below are the resources that will help you develop and produce your story.

A call for stories

Share your faith story

If you have a story you’d like to share, we’d love to hear it. It could be your own faith story or testimony, a time you shared your faith with someone, or a recent moment when you felt God moving in your life.

May God bless you and use you as you share your Faith Story with others for His glory.
