A NOTE FROM
PASTOR AARON
What an amazing year it has been! By God’s grace and your generosity, we have seen the Lord do tremendous things in Tampa Bay and throughout the globe. We are celebrating a record setting year of growth. Our church was nationally recognized as the 4th fastest growing church in America and each one of those numbers represents a life transformed by Jesus. This is REMARKABLE. We are truly in the midst of revival! Now, we have an incredible opportunity to invest in the FUTURE.
I truly believe 2020 will be a year of supernatural growth for God’s church throughout Tampa Bay. Our theme this year is “Building For Tomorrow.” Our desire is to plant roots into the ground by building permanent facilities for our locations, starting in South Tampa. This is a bold move to establish something long term in Tampa Bay for generations to come. The future is bright. God is building His church. Thank you for your desire to leave a legacy!
Your Pastor,
Aaron Burke

St. Pete Location
I moved to St. Pete in August from Miami. I was coming out of a pretty dark time in my life and I knew I needed a good Christian community, quick. I was scared of not finding a church that I would be able to connect with. I wanted a church near me because I really didn’t want to make the drive to Tampa, but I still decided to check out Radiant. During the service I found out that in a month they were going to launch the St. Pete location. I immediately joined Next Steps and was able to become a part of the launch team for St. Pete. Since that time I’ve been able to meet some amazing people that have been impacting my life daily. I’m grateful for the St Pete location because I feared leaving my home in Miami and feeling like a stranger, but once I arrived, Radiant make me feel like I was home. It was an answer to my prayers.

South Tampa Location
My time at Radiant Church has impacted my life in so many ways. Before coming to Radiant, my life was lost, I felt like I had no worth and that my life had no purpose anymore. One day, after a powerful message by my Youth Pastors, my life was transformed. I started attending church regularly and really started paying attention to what Pastor Aaron said, who has also greatly impacted my life through his preaching. But without Jesus speaking through my pastors over my few years attending, I wouldn’t be able to share this story or be able to say that Jesus has changed my life. I am so thankful, I can’t thank my Youth Pastors enough for pushing me to go from where I was, to where God wants me to be!

Oasis Church, Richmond VA
My wife and I were both born and raised right here in the Richmond area. Since God called us into the ministry as teenagers, we always knew that one day we would plant a church, but we had no idea where. After traveling the country preaching for the last four years, God showed us that it was time to start our church that had been in our hearts for years. This past September, we launched Oasis Church, at our Launch Sunday we had 326 people. Because of Radiant, Oasis Church has launched strong and has already made great Kingdom Impact right out of the gate. This past Sunday, on our 8th weekend as a church, we baptized 22 people who made a public declaration of their faith and had more than 260 people in attendance.

Sri Lanka
Greetings from Sri Lanka, Radiant Church has been so generous to us. We have been able to add 2 new projects to churches in the villages of Pussallawa and Ragala in 2019, bringing us to a total of 5 projects throughout Sri Lanka. By adding these new projects we have been able to reach over 300 children every week and provide education, food, and the Good News of Jesus Christ. Not only are the children in the programs being impacted, but we are seeing whole families reached for Christ because of the support of Radiant Church. At one of our projects we saw a girl wearing two broken slippers, the girl’s father didn’t have a good job so we were able to get the daughter two new slippers. This brought a smile to her sad face because of your compassionate help, thank you Radiant Church; thank you very much for your support.
