Letter from Pastor Aaron

2024 was a year unlike any other. It was marked by supernatural favor, unprecedented growth, and undeniable transformation. It was truly our greatest year yet, both numerically and spiritually!

With God’s grace and supernatural favor, we launched two brand-new locations in the Tampa Bay area: New Tampa and Trinity. Miraculously, both locations were planted debt-free, and the impact has been nothing short of life-changing. Every week, we are witnessing hearts being healed, families impacted, and lives transformed. We believe that for the local church to be effective, it must be local. These two locations are bringing renewed hope and transformation to their communities through the message of Jesus. 

In addition, we experienced a miracle merger with Crosswind Church on Hillsborough Avenue. This historic church, located on one of Tampa’s busiest roads, is being reborn with new purpose. Construction is already underway, and we eagerly anticipate opening the doors in late 2025. We can’t wait to see how God uses this location to reach more people.

None of this would be possible without your radical generosity. Because of your faithful giving, we have been able to:

    • Celebrate 6,385 decisions for Christ.
    • Baptize 832 of new believers.
    • Invest $1,274,722.14 in missions and outreach
    • Connect 6,664 of people through Radiant Groups

    This annual report is more than just numbers—it’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and a reflection of your generosity. We share it with hearts full of gratitude and transparency, celebrating all that God has done through Radiant.

    I truly believe the best is yet to come,
    Pastor Aaron Burke

    Inspiring Stories
    Asia Collins
    Last year, I traveled to Sri Lanka to share the Gospel and my own testimony with the youth at various camps. Despite the language barrier, I witnessed lives transformed by God's love. I didn’t expect that God would speak to me during that trip, calling me into ministry, and igniting a passion within me beyond just serving on Sundays.

    Today, I'm humbled to be serving as the WSP YTH Director! I’m also excited to be leading a Radiant YTH Mission Trip to walk along side our next gen as they create opportunities for others to experience the life-changing power of God's love, while also listening to what God is saying to them in this season. I'm grateful for the journey God has taken me on, and I'm eager to see how He will continue to use me to impact the lives of young people for His Kingdom.

    Hurricane Relief

    In the fall of 2024, Florida was struck by two major hurricanes—Helen and Milton. These powerful storms brought devastating loss and displacement to thousands. Yet, in the midst of the chaos, we came together as a church community to offer support, hope, and help to those in need.

    Life Change
    Groups Highlights
    Jules, from Radiant West St. Pete, came to church while struggling with addiction, giving God a second chance. She was invited to join a Foundations table, and after a few weeks, one of the lessons moved her to surrender her life to Christ. She soon took the next step in her faith by getting baptized, joined the Dream Team to serve, and is now leading others as a group leader.

    Jaslyn has been attending Radiant YTH since she was in 6th grade. This past year she went to summer camp where she heard the Lord begin to call her into ministry. In the fall she signed up for YSL (YTH Student Leadership) to serve her location. In January she went on the JRSR Retreat, where she felt solidified in her calling and joined the YTH Missions Team - she’ll be going to Nicaragua this summer!
