OUR MISSION

Our 5 core values

1.  UNDERSTANDING GRACE
Radiant Church has the primary objective to effectively share the New Covenant of God's Grace, available to everyone, accomplished by Jesus Christ.  (Prov . 4:7,  Eph 2:8,  Rom 5:8)

2.  ALWAYS FAMILY, ALWAYS FRIENDS
Each member of Radiant Church is encouraged to promote an environment of mutual respect and kindness.   Our Pastors teach Quick Recover Time (QRT),  to be practiced among congregants in times of disagreement and misunderstanding.  We believe the local church should serve as a model to the world of wholesome community.  Strong relationships make for a strong church.  (Rom 12:9, Col 3:13)

3.  SERVE GOD, SERVE PEOPLE
We believe everyone has a God-given purpose.   Radiant Church has "In the church" and "As the church" serving opportunities to help you find and develop yours.  We believe purpose becomes clear when we serve selflessly.  (1 Peter 4:10 NLT, Col 3:23 AMP)

4.  SINCERE AND SIMPLE
We desire to do ministry for Christ from the core of who we are.  No games, no gimmicks, no need to impress others, just Jesus-centered objectives.  We praise God passionately and worship Him sincerely.  "Life can be difficult, worship shouldn't be"  - Pastor Mike   (Psalms 145:18-19 MSG, Psalms 95:1-7 MSG)

5.  EXCELLENCE
"Good work can be great!"  - Pastor Mike
The lives we live and the work we do should bring a smile to the Father's face.  We aim to be excellent in all our endeavors.  (Col 3:17)
