A ministry where women find comfort, remembrance and faith-rooted support from other women who truly understand. Whether you’ve just experienced the loss of a baby or child or it’s been years, we walk beside you with compassion and hope.
We’re Angie & Keith Hughes, the founders of Early Flight Ministry.
welcome, friend
In 2004, we experienced the most heartbreaking loss of our baby through miscarriage. It was in the quiet, painful days, we realized how isolating grief can feel—and how few places there were for moms to be seen, comforted, and reminded of God’s love in the midst of sorrow.
Out of that experience, we felt called to create a safe, faith-rooted community where no mother walks alone after the loss of her baby or child of any age. For more than 20 years, Early Flight Ministry has come alongside moms with gentle support, remembrance events, and practical resources—all centered on hope in Christ and the power of community.
“I felt like no one could ever understand my grief and pain. The Early Flight Ministry made me feel seen, heard and loved. It was a safe place to share my story and walk alongside other women who have lost a child.”

As a woman that has suffered through infertility, miscarriage, and child loss, having a safe and loving place like Early Flight to share my experiences, receive love, hugs, prayers, and empathy has been a sacred part of my path toward healing.

" When I lost my son, I felt alone in my grief. By God’s design, my path crossed with Angie’s, and through that, led me to Early Flight, a community where His love is felt through words of encouragement and shared tears. I was reminded that I am not alone. Surrounded by others who truly understood. I found comfort, hope, and the gentle presence of the Lord in the midst of sorrow. Early Flight is a place where my son’s life is honored. His life mattered—deeply and here, his memory is not forgotten, but uplifted with love and purpose. "
