About Us

We are developing leaders for the sake of Church Planting and Revitalization.

Candlekeepers is a leadership development initiative aimed at church planting and revitalization. We are dedicated to keeping the light of the gospel burning one church at a time. The New Testament makes it clear that churches are God’s plan for illuminating the world. In Revelation Jesus describes churches as "lampstands." They are responsible for holding up the light of the gospel for others to see. And since healthy churches require healthy leaders, we want to promote leadership development so that new churches are started and existing churches are strengthened.

We are promoting leadership development by . . .

Creating Internships

Internships are our primary focus. Our internship program matches individuals who show desire and potential for ministry with mentors who facilitate teaching and training in christian ministry.

Generating Grants

Our grant program is designed to promote leadership development in churches around the world. We award grants to churches and church plants whose fruitful ministry would be multiplied through financial support.

Providing Resources

We are providing resources in the form of articles, messages and training courses. We hope that God will use these resources to fan into flame the spark of faith in many followers of Christ.
