Patti Butler

Patti is a leader, mentor, entrepreneur, and creative with a heart for building up women, families, and communities. Her professional journey began as a young, suddenly-single mom of two, building a career in finance and logistics—an experience that shaped the empathy and resilience she brings to every role.

After marrying her husband, Brett, and blending their family of four, Patti transitioned into ministry leadership and later launched Woodford Wicks Candle Company, growing it into a nationally recognized brand. From 2015 to 2022, she and Brett served as church planting missionaries in California before returning home to Kentucky following the loss of their son.

Today, Patti mentors young women and families, consults with small businesses, and continues to serve with humility, hospitality, and a deep love for the local church and those God places in her path.
