Glow Church Founders Step Back for Healing
Faith Facts
- Joel and Ellen Cave, founders of Glow Church, have separated after 24 years of marriage and stepped back from ministry.
- The separation is not due to moral failure or infidelity, and the church asks for prayer and privacy for the family.
- Glow Church remains committed to its faith mission while supporting the Cave family during this time.
Joel and Ellen Cave, who established Glow Church in 2013, have stepped away from their senior pastoral roles following a period of family difficulty. The church has assured its congregation that this decision was made prayerfully and is not related to any moral failure.
Glow Church chairman Dave Weatherall shared that Ellen Cave requested the separation, emphasizing the need for healing and restoration within their family. Joel is focusing on medical and pastoral recovery during this season.
“We ask for prayer, understanding, and respect for the privacy of Joel, Ellen, the children, and the Cave Family. We thank God for the evident blessing on Glow Church, as we face the future together,” said Weatherall.
Despite stepping back, the Cave family remains a cherished part of the church community, receiving care and support. Faith leaders at Glow Church are dedicated to walking alongside the Caves, trusting in God’s restoration and grace.
As the church continues its mission rooted in Christian values, members are encouraged to come together in prayer for the Caves, believing in Christ’s hope and healing for all families.
