A Call to Action Training Event
Vote NO on Proposition 1
This November, Idaho voters will have to make a choice about Proposition 1. But before we make that choice, we need to understand exactly what we are voting on.
Proposition 1 is far more sweeping than many Idaho voters realize. There is much that voters have not been told—and it is worse than you think.
This is a high-stakes initiative, and the consequences are measured in lives. Protecting Idaho’s current safeguards means protecting unborn children, women, and families from consequences that cannot be undone.
That is why we are holding A Call to Action on Sunday, August 23, from 5–7 PM at Candlelight Christian Fellowship.
Join AJ Hurley from The White Rose Resistance and Pastor Paul Van Noy as we break down what is actually contained in Proposition 1, explain why even moderate and liberal-leaning voters should be concerned, and equip you to confidently communicate that information to your friends, family, and neighbors. We MUST take a stand
This training is also preparation for a massive door-to-door emergency intervention in our community. We are mobilizing to take this information to the streets of Kootenai County and beyond and make sure Idaho voters know what is truly at stake before they cast their ballots.
Light refreshments will be provided.
Get informed. Get equipped. Get involved.

Candlelight Apologetics Institute
Monday, September 14, 2026
The Candlelight Apologetics Institute continues this fall with Semester Two, begining September 14.
Taught by Christian apologists Dan Fry and Dr. Jason Murray, CAI is designed to form thoughtful, grounded, and confident Christians who want to develop a clear, biblical understanding of what they believe and why.
Throughout Semester Two, participants will continue examining the foundations of truth and knowledge, evaluating competing worldviews, and learning to defend the Christian faith with clarity and conviction. Through study, discussion, and reflection, the course equips believers to think carefully, engage thoughtfully, and apply biblical truth faithfully.
CAI is designed to shape not only what Christians know, but how they think—preparing them to engage the culture with discernment and communicate the truth with wisdom and grace.
Mondays @ 6 PM in the Upstairs Chapel. Don't miss it!

New Class: The Sunday Series
Sunday, September 20, 2026
This September, Candlelight is launching something new.
The Sunday Series is a monthly intensive designed to help equip Christians for the real-life challenges facing believers and families today. Led by Dr. Jason Murray, along with carefully selected guest speakers, each module will take a timely issue and examine it through the clear teaching of Scripture.
We’ll begin with two of the areas under some of the greatest pressure today: our children and our marriages. The first module will look at parenting, co-parenting, and grandparenting in an increasingly immersive digital world, including the influence of AI, online culture, and competing ideologies. The second will address how Christians can build, protect, and strengthen their marriages in a culture that increasingly treats relationships as disposable.
Future modules will tackle evangelism, politics, Bible prophecy, competing worldviews, and more—all with the goal of helping believers think biblically, stand faithfully, and stay mission-ready.
Join us beginning Sunday, September 20 at 10:30 AM in the Upstairs Chapel
