Baptism

We are pumped about our first baptism coming up on June 13th at 2pm. It is going to be held at the Meloche home at 306 Berea Forest Circle (if you need directions, call 246-0769). At Radiant, we believe the Bible teaches baptism as the next step after giving your life to Jesus. Baptism is "going public" and showing others your commitment to following Christ. It's a sign of identification as a new person, it's commanded by Jesus, and it shows our obedience. Baptism isn't what saves you...it's kinda like a wedding ring. The ring doesn't make you married, but is a symbol to your commitment to someone else. Baptism is that outward symbol that you are now living your life for someone else...and His name is Jesus! If you plan on attending the celebration, or would like to talk to someone about being baptized, let us know at contact@radiantchurch.cc!
After the baptism, we will be cooking out by the pool and enjoying the fellowship of each other's families. Bring your swimsuits, towels, and family!

Vision Meeting


It's official! The first vision meeting of Radiant Church is in the books! It was so exciting to put the new sign out on the lawn and wait in anticipation of who would arrive. WOW! This is what happened! It was more that we could imagine or plan, but knew that God was the orchestrator. We had 34 people, including 5 children participate in a night that made our dreams of Radiant Church a reality. IT IS REALLY HAPPENING! The fact that our launch team could possibly triple just based on those people was not nearly as exciting as seeing brand new people there that are currently unchurched or dechurched. God sent special people to confirm our calling as men and women shared how they had turned from a connection with the local body because they were burned out by "doing church." We don't want to just see a bunch of people move to Radiant from another local church, but see those who are far from God or disconnected come to closer to Him! More than ever, the leadership of Radiant is inspired to become the Church as it was intended to be! Thanks to Joe, who did an amazing job on a promo video that showed the heart of our vision. The unity that God has given us is simply incredible!

If you missed out last night, don't worry because our next vision meeting is June 14th at 6pm! If you can't wait that long to hear more, email us at contact@radiantchurch.cc or call our pastor at 616-0122.
