Lead Pastor

Aaron Burke

Aaron Burke is a passionate leader with a deep love for Jesus, a deep commitment to ministry, and a heart for the local church. Called into ministry at just sixteen years old, Aaron has devoted his life to spreading the message of Jesus Christ across the globe, traveling to over forty countries to share the hope and grace found in Him.

In 2013, Aaron, along with his wife Katie, took a significant leap of faith by launching Radiant Church in Tampa Bay. Since its launch on September 15, 2013, Radiant Church has experienced remarkable growth, expanding to multiple locations throughout the Tampa Bay area. They’re fulfilling their mission is to move people towards Christ, community, and calling. Aaron’s vision for multiplication and regional impact drives his commitment to see the local church thrive and reach more people for Christ.

Aaron holds a Bachelor’s degree from Southeastern University, an MBA, and a Doctorate in Ministry, all of which equip him to lead with both passion and expertise. He is also the author of The Unfair Advantage: 7 Keys from the Life of Joseph for Turning Every Obstacle into an Opportunity, a testament to his dedication to turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

When he’s not leading Radiant Church, Aaron enjoys staying active with CrossFit, exploring new places through travel, and cherishing time with his wife Katie and their five children: Lily, Annabelle, Kai, Elise, and Adeline. The Burke family is completed by Georgie, their beloved cavapoo, who is truly the best dog on the planet.

Aaron and Katie are continually inspired by what God is doing through Radiant Church and firmly believe that the best is yet to come for the Tampa Bay area. To learn more about Aaron and his ministry, visit aaronburke.com.
