We celebrate what God has done over this last year! God has been at work as we have sought to point all people to a passionate pursuit of the radiant God.

WORSHIP 2024–2025 OVERVIEW

Worship is one of the defining characteristics in the life of a disciple. Every facet of our lives should be a worshipful response to what our great God has done. Each week, we gathered as Radiant Bible Church across generations for corporate worship to ascribe worth to our God. For much of the year, we studied the book of Hebrews and learned to “Look to Jesus” above all else. From individuals choosing to follow Christ and making a public declaration of faith to guests visiting and people committing to Radiant through membership to believers fixing their eyes on Jesus, we are grateful for what the Lord has done in us and how He moved in our midst.

WALK 2024–2025 OVERVIEW

As disciples, we focus on pursuing God and becoming like Him as we walk with Christ. Over the year, we celebrated biblical community in a variety of discipleship spaces that encouraged and enriched our walk with Him. Our adults deepened relationships while studying God’s Word in various settings and found help and healing through Radiant Groups and Soul Care. Students in grades 6–12 gathered throughout the school year to worship the Lord and hear from God’s Word as they learned to “Walk in Wisdom” through the books of James and Proverbs. In Radiant Kids, a love for God and His Word was fostered as kids ages birth through 5th grade gathered on Sunday mornings to learn more about Jesus and what it means to have a relationship with Him.

WORK 2024–2025 OVERVIEW

When we serve the church, love our community and share the good news of Jesus, we are working for Christ as His followers. Over the year, our people continued to live on mission for the Lord. On Sundays and throughout the week, we served together in Kids and Students, warmly welcomed guests, cared for each others’ burdens and poured out our lives for the sake of the church family and the gospel. Locally, we were sent out to serve and address the needs of our community and outreach partners. Globally, we came alongside brothers and sisters to strengthen and encourage them for the work of the gospel in St. Vincent, Belize and Scotland.

Church Plant: Hope Bible Church

By God’s grace, Radiant Bible Church is planting Hope Bible Church in Danville, Indiana in September 2025. We are sending 90+ people from Radiant as the Launch Team for Hope. Because of the generosity of our people and several outside sources, this church plant has started off in a financially strong position with more than $300,000. Over a year ago, we stepped out in faith and we are grateful for what God has done to launch this church.
