Supporting Global Missions
Missions has always been a focus of our church. It is our driving desire to reach out to spiritually lost people in every nation of the earth. A portion of our tithes and offerings go directly to support missionaries and mission organizations across the world. We also support local outreaches to both adults and children. We believe the Great Commission is a global responsibility that Jesus gave to each of us. In addition to supporting missionaries financially, every year we send short-term missions teams of adults and youth around the world to work and to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. Radiant Church is truly a family church with a world vision! Below you will find links to missionaries and organizations that we partner with.
