Simply amazing. Pastor Greg is powerful and a fantastic speaker that really gets to your heart. Worship time is something I can't put to words but it makes me cry every Sunday. I went on the Philippines mission trip and it changed my life to say the least. A great group of people.

I've been going to this church for almost 5 years, l was saved at church, and they are my family. They aren't a fake church, they believe in what they are preaching
They are truly blessed and wonderful place to worship. Come and give it a try and see for yourself.People are spreading rumors and that's not what God wants us to do. Read the message of God and trust what you get out it. Don't get caught up in the rumors. God will handle the rest......

For anyone visiting or currently attending, please note that the current leadership should be under serious scrutiny. I have attended church my entire life and know that no church is perfect, nor should it ever be held to that standard. However, there are too many red flags that lead me to believe the congregation is being deceived and manipulated by the current leadership.
First, of all, there have been several pastors from nearly all departments of the church, who have left in the past few months. Having spoken to nearly all of them, the reason points back to one person, despite what the people in the church are being told. Since many people have noticed these changes and have found out why, close to 1,000 attendees have left the church recently.
Secondly, the pastor himself has told lies directly to me about why some have left, appalling and misleading information that should be considered defamation of character.
Thirdly, when trying to sign up for an overseas trip with the church, I realized the cost was much higher than it should be. It turns out the pastor, his wife, and his family flew first class for free. If he was leading a mission trip, I might understand some of that, but this is for a vacation to Israel.
Fourthly, the salary of the pastor and his family is beyond excessive for the size of the church. And if you try to get financial information about that and other things, Radiant is far from transparent.
Also, if you ever hear anything mentioned about a church plant in Peoria, it's not true. They are in no way affiliated with Radiant church.
And finally (and probably the least troublesome to be honest), the pastor has plagiarized word for word numerous sermons.
In all honesty, this is scratching the surface. Sadly, this and other information has been brought to the church board on several occasions (a church board that was actually hand-picked by the pastor himself if that's any indication), and nothing has been done. Things continue to be swept under the rug or lies continue to be spread.
I give two stars because there are great people who attend there and the outreach is great. However, everything starts at the top. The people of the church need to continue to leave or rise up and demand change.

The head pastor supports same-sex couples. The "worship band music" sounds more like a hard rock n roll concert than worship music. There is a Starbucks inside of the church. That doesn't seem like a church to me. Too commercial. I asked the head pastor about the Starbucks & I told him that Starbucks is one of the most liberal pro-homosexual companies in America and he said that he supports same-sex couples. that is NOT a true bible believing church. That is not the kind of church I want to go to. And the prayer tower used to be open to anyone Monday - Friday who wanted to go up in the tower and pray. Now it is completely closed off to anybody! Shady if you ask me!
