Letter from Pastor Aaron

2025 was a year that clearly demonstrated both the faithfulness of God and the responsibility of wise stewardship. At Radiant Church, we believe that every dollar entrusted to the church should be handled with integrity, clarity, and purpose. This annual report reflects our commitment to steward resources well so that they produce lasting, eternal results. Through disciplined financial leadership and a focus on eternal impact, your investment helped create environments where people could encounter Jesus, take next steps in their faith, and experience real life change. This year alone, 9,369 people made decisions for Christ, and 904 people were baptized, marking tangible evidence that Jesus is transforming lives through Radiant Church. 

In 2025, over $2.3 million was directed toward missions and outreach, advancing the gospel locally, nationally, and globally. Every gift helped fuel ministry growth, support strategic initiatives, and extend hope to communities and nations in need. We are deeply grateful for a church family that gives with trust and vision, knowing that their generosity is not just funding operations, but building God’s kingdom. As you review this report, our prayer is that you see clear alignment between resources given and lives changed. I pray that you are encouraged by the eternal difference being made through Radiant Church. It is only possible because of God’s grace and your generosity.

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

    Inspiring Stories
    Kailey’s Story
    I first discovered Radiant Missions at the Dream Team Conference in 2024, and from that moment I felt led to say yes — even though I didn’t feel qualified or experienced. As I prayed about where God was calling me, I felt a clear prompting toward Thailand.

    In October 2025, our team traveled to Chiang Mai to serve alongside the Jacks family, full-time missionaries faithfully reaching their community. Being there changed my life. Thailand is more than 92–95% Buddhist, and only about 1.17% of the population identifies as Christian. Seeing firsthand how many people have never heard the name of Jesus deeply impacted my heart and opened my eyes to the great need around the world.

    During our trip, we served through children’s ministry, prayer walks, and partnership with local churches, encouraging believers and sharing hope. Missions showed me that God doesn’t call the qualified — He qualifies those who are willing. I am so grateful I said yes, and I’m honored to be returning to Thailand again this year to continue sharing the gospel.

    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.

    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.

    EPIC has become our intentional discipleship system for our core kids who are ready to go beyond Sunday morning with their faith. They have learned foundational doctrine and ways to live a life on mission for God.

    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!
