Our Mission

Lives transformed by
the Word of God.

Stephen and Candy LaFlora

We are passionate about seeing lives transformed through the life-giving, uncompromising Word of God. Through biblical teaching, we inspire hope, build unshakable faith, strengthen marriages and families, and equip people to live with purpose, confidence, and victory.

Through television, podcasts, worship, and practical biblical encouragement, we help you discover God’s answers for everyday life, experience His presence, and grow deeper in your relationship with Him.

We also help you learn who you are and what you have through the ministry of Jesus Christ—your identity, authority, freedom, and inheritance in Him.

Wherever you are on your journey, you are invited to join us, be encouraged, and discover the hope and purpose God has for your life.

Feed Your Faith. Strengthen Your Heart. Renew Your Mind.

Our Story

Over 30 years of
music and ministry.

Stephen and Woola “Candy” LaFlora have ministered in worship music and in the Word of God worldwide for over 30 years. Their beautiful and powerful music ushers in the presence of God in a remarkable way — changing lives, healing hearts, and restoring peace.

The LaFloras have served in worship ministry with Christian leaders such as Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Hagin, Darlene Zschech & Hillsong, Delirious, and others. They have ministered on Trinity Broadcasting Network and traveled across the world to India, Ireland, England, Australia, and South Africa, reaching millions with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through music and word. Their numerous recordings include Ministering to the Lord — with the song “Jesus Gave,” which topped charts across the United States — and their Grammy-nominated release “Hope.” They have also been featured as contributing authors for Rick Renner Ministries' IMPART magazine.

Stephen LaFlora is a gifted composer and pianist whose versatility enabled him to compose an Emmy award-winning score for NBC. His first release, Sounds of Healing, is a soothing instrumental project composed while sitting at the piano. He is a graduate of Northwestern University School of Music and a 1990 graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center, and served as musical director for the music group Committed.

Woola LaFlora (pronounced “Oo-la”), also known as “Candy,” was also a member of the gospel group Committed and has served as a studio vocalist for artists including Daniebelle Hall, bassist Michael Manson, and Reverend Keith Moore. Her powerful voice has also been featured in national advertising for clients such as 7-Up and Sears.

Stephen and Candy are 1990 graduates of Rhema Bible Training Center and the senior pastors of Maranatha Church in Chicago, IL.
