Candi Bender accepted Jesus at the age of six and grew up serving in the local church by playing the piano for services each week. She graduated from Christian Heritage College in 2002 with a degree in Liberal Studies and a California Teaching Credential. Shortly after graduation, she married Christian Bender, and they have happily served in the worship ministry at Grace Fellowship together for over 20 years. She has a heart of worship and a drive to lead others to do the same. She is a perfect fit for the director of the the Music and Worship Ministry at Grace Fellowship.
