Women's Ministries

Brenda Van Noy

Women’s Ministries Director


The Candlelight Women’s Ministry exists to encourage and equip women as they grow in their walk with the Lord and serve faithfully within their families, the church, and the wider community. Rooted in God’s Word, this ministry seeks to support women through every season of life by providing meaningful opportunities for biblical teaching, fellowship, and prayer.

We recognize that no single ministry can meet every need, but we believe women’s discipleship plays a vital role in the health of the church as a whole. By prioritizing spiritual growth and a strong foundation in Scripture, Women’s Ministry comes alongside the broader church body to support women as they navigate relational, emotional, and practical challenges.

Through consistent Bible teaching, intentional fellowship, and Christ-centered encouragement, Women’s Ministry aims to create spaces where women feel known, supported, and strengthened in their faith. If you have questions or would like to serve in Women’s Ministry, please email Liz@Candlelight.org.


Current Women’s Ministry opportunities include:

  • Tuesday Morning Bible Study

  • Tuesday Evening Bible Study

  • Senior Women’s Wednesday Devotional

  • Senior Women’s Fellowship

  • Widow’s Mite
