At the beginning of 2013, Katie and I packed up our lives and moved to Tampa with a clear vision from God of a life-giving church that would really transform a community. It took us 9 months to build a team from scratch and to raise the adequate funds to launch Radiant Church. The dream became a reality on September 15th, 2013 when 348 people attended our first public Sunday service. Since the launch of Radiant Church we have seen God truly do “immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). The church has continued to grow and continued to keep its mission of reaching unchurched people in the Tampa Bay area. My family and I look forward to getting to know you more. God has amazing things in store for the future. We hope that you would catch the vision and join us in our mission to reach the world.
