Candlewood Ministries is a ministry that meets one Sunday per month at a neighborhood, state-funded apartment complex. The community brings together residents and non-residents, as well as people with and without physical and intellectual disabilities, to experience community and belonging together. The gatherings  include music, conversation, communion, and celebrating “Friends News”. According to residents, Candlewood has transformed the apartment complex from a place of isolation and loneliness to one of dense community and lasting friendship.
