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. Together, we have worshiped Christ, walked with Christ and worked for Christ – all for His glory. Read on to see the impact of God@Work over the 2025–2026 ministry year.

WORSHIP 2025–2026 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 Romans and celebrated the glory of God found in the gospel. 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.

Jenni C.

“God continues to show me He can be trusted! When things are out of my control, I know He reigns over all and has a better plan than I do.”

Kim M.

“The Lord has helped me through difficult physical complications and the emotional stress that comes with it. My husband and I have grown spiritually, in our individual lives and as a couple!”

Byron J.

“God has been visible in my life by how He drew me to Radiant Bible Church and has allowed me to forgive. This body of believers also encouraged me to publicly declare my faith by being baptized. Praise the Lord!”

Christi M.

WALK 2025–2026 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 live “ALIVE: To the Praise of His Glory” through the books of Matthew and Ephesians. 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.

God@Work Stories 2025–2026

Dave M.

“The Lord has taught me to release control and rely fully on Him.”

Donna P.

“God’s presence has been particularly evident to me this year. My life has truly been different; I feel peaceful, hopeful and even more loved than I did before.”

Alix V.

“This year, God has done so many good things in our lives as we are in the turbulence of immigration. When we reapplied for work permits, we didn’t expect to receive them in less than two weeks. We know people who have been waiting for three to six months, even a year at times. We give praise to God that we didn’t lose our jobs because He showed up unexpectedly. Praise Him!”

Kevin J.

“God removed obstacles that I struggled with for a long time. He also increased my desire and confidence in bringing Him up in conversations and sharing my faith with others.”

Mary J.

“Since attending Radiant, God has taught me to trust and obey Him more. I’m not one to jump into things, but this year I got to help all week at High Five and now I am going on a GO! Trip.”

WORK 2025–2026 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. We sent GO! Trips teams to St. Vincent, Alaska and Scotland.

God@Work Stories 2025–2026

Tiffany M.

“God has been at work in my life over the last year calling me to step out of my comfort zone. Our family went through a season of healing and my daughter and I together are getting into foster parenting and missions. While these have been two areas of passion and calling for me throughout my life, it is a new joy and challenge to do this with my teenage daughter.”

Amanda C.

“God opened a door for me to walk alongside a couple struggling in their marriage, the same way He carried my husband and me through years ago. Only the Lord could soften two hearts enough to ask endless questions about faith, to want to go to church, to hunger for His Word. Only He could take a family from silence to prayer, from distance to seeking Him together.”

Ron C.

“God has provided a welcoming church home for us in Radiant. We now want to give back and show love to others like the Lord has shown to us.”

Ellen M.

“The Lord is working in my life by teaching me to trust Him with things I cannot change. When I wait on Him, He gives me peace and hope for the journey. He’s my Jehovah Jireh.”

GIVING HIGHLIGHT

Each year, Radiant seeks to steward the resources that God entrusts to us through faithful giving. Our budget allows us to execute ministry, employ our staff, be generous to our partners, care for our facilities, plant churches and ultimately pursue our mission.
