Beliefs

Who we are and what we do as a church must always be securely rooted in what we believe about God and the world in which we live.

 

OUR DEEPEST CONVICTIONS:

  • The Bible is the source that shapes our understanding of Him. We are convinced that the Bible’s message is inspired by God and that it provides humanity with a clear path toward a relationship with Him.
  • There is one God. He created us. He loves us. His desire has always been that we enjoy deep and healthy relationship with Him. He is known as the Trinity, three co-equal persons who have always existed: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
  • Jesus Christ is God’s Son. He voluntarily entered humanity by being born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and rose from the dead to pay for our sins. Forgiveness of our sins and right relationship with God are found through Him alone.
  • The Holy Spirit draws all people to Christ. He enters our lives when we receive Christ. He is active in our daily lives, giving power and spiritual gifts to believers for growth and service.
  • The church of Jesus Christ is made up of all people everywhere who know Him as their Lord and as one who can truly forgive their sins.
  • Jesus will return some day to bring justice and to establish a new heaven and a new earth.
     

 

OUR MISSION:

At Radiant, we are committed to our mission of Honoring God by growing community of passionate followers of Jesus Christ who impact their world. We would like to invite you to join us on "The Ascent" which is Radiant’s mission in action, as well as a personal discipleship path for spiritual growth.
 The Radiant Church Ascent is our Mission in ActionThe Ascent is a mountain climbing metaphor that
describes the process for fulfilling that mission.
The four areas of our mission make up the four
trail markers along the Ascent.

As we make The Ascent we discover:

    •  How to honor God by living a life of WORSHIP
    •  How to CONNECT with others in Biblical community
    •  How to ENGAGE in ministry service and spiritual growth
    •  How to make an IMPACT in our world

Each trail marker has three levels of participation that are denoted by ski slope ratings.
As in skiing, we can all be on the mountain together but each following our own Ascent.

Level 1 is Get Involved Involve Level 2 is Commit Commit Level 3 is Lead Lead

We would be thrilled to have you join us as we make The Ascent and fulfill God’s vision for Radiant church. To find out more about Radiant and The Ascent please join us for Starting Point.
