Beliefs & Leadership

Radiant

about

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons:
 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.


Genesis 1:1, 26-27, 3:22

ABOUT GOD

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. We believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

Matthew 1:22-23, John 1:1-5,  Hebrews 4:14-15, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Romans 1:3-4, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Timothy 6:14-15, Titus 2:13

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit that lives in the Christian and enables us to live a godly life. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. 

2 Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13, 14:16-17,  Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16,  Ephesians 1:13, Galatians 5:25, Ephesians 5:18

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that salvation requires regeneration of the Holy Spirit by grace through faith. It is a free gift for those who declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead.

Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6, 1:12, Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26, Romans 5:1

ABOUT SALVATION

 We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only true, authoritative Word of God.

2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2 Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6, Proverbs 30:5

Our Mission

Radiant's mission is to multiply disciples, leaders & churches

Radiant Church began in 2010 with a desire to reach people with the message of Jesus on the East side of Des Moines. 

Radiant continued to grow as it moved from the E 26th St location to the Orange Planet Fitness building. In 2012, Radiant moved to the current Pleasant Hill facility at Metro East Dr.

On Easter 2019, Radiant opened the Ankeny Campus in the FFA building on the DMACC campus.  In 2024, as a part of the REACH Initiative, Radiant opened the Shining Bright Learning Center
