Backpacks, Diaper Bags, Etc.

As a fellowship of believers in service before the Lord, we at Candlelight Christian Fellowship believe it is our responsibility to provide the safest possible environment in and around the Candlelight properties. Therefore, we have adopted the following policy.

In an effort to make all people who attend our services feel welcomed and loved we will not be screening backpacks, diaper bags, large purses, briefcases, etc. en masse. However, as a result, we will reserve the right to selectively screen backpacks, diaper bags, large purses, briefcases, etc. should we deem it necessary for any reason.

May the Lord bless each of us as we employ these standards! May He allow for greater and greater ministry opportunities as we faithfully serve one another in Jesus’ name!
