About Bright Lights

In 1996, Sarah Mally (now Hancock) started a discipleship ministry in her living room with the goal of challenging other young ladies to be strong for the Lord in their youth. We have been excited to see how the Lord has blessed, and now there are over 800 Bright Lights groups that have started around the country and internationally. Bright Lights continues to train leaders, host mother and daughter conferences, and provide discipleship materials for young ladies. Sarah is also the author of Speak Truth in Your Heart and Before You Meet Prince Charming.
