About Us

Our Vision

“It’s all about love!!”

 

Our vision, the culture we seek to create, and the reason we exist as a church is simple is to obey Jesus by loving God and loving people.

​

Radiant is a contemporary Spirit empowered church that loves God and passionately pursues His manifest presence. Through worship and praise, an atmosphere is cultivated where Holy Spirit moves in power to heal hearts, transform lives, and perform signs, wonders, and miracles.

A biblically based prophetic word of love and hope is preached to ignite a fresh passion and love for God in the hearts of believers challenging everyone to believe and receive more from God than we can imagined!

​

Jesus came to reveal the Father, and through the Finished work of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection we can know the love of God that surpasses knowledge. For us, this means going beyond a religious head knowledge of knowledge about God and pursuing a personal relationship with our loving heavenly Father through His Son by the power of Holy Spirit.

​

At Radiant, we talk a lot about Papa’s love, because we believe it is the revelation and personal experience of the Father’s love that will bring about the next great move of God and heal the broken heart of our nation and our world.

Radiant Church is an independent Spirit-empowered church under the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening (ANGA) which is part of a Revival Alliance Network.  Dr. Randy Clark is the president and apostolic leader of Global Awakening.

 

Radiant has its roots in the Assemblies of God, planted in the 1930’s as First Assembly in Lincoln. Originally organized in the downtown area of Lincoln, the congregation moved to the corner of 56th and R Street in circa 1979 and remained there until 2000 when they moved to the present location at the corner of 70th and Vine Street, assuming the building that was once St. Mark's Methodist Church.

 

The name for the church has also changed through the years. Originally First Assembly, it was renamed Gates of Praise when the congregation moved to the current location. Then in 2011, the church assumed the name Radiant inspired by Ephesians 5:26-27, “Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her  to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a RADIANT CHURCH, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.”

 

In recent years, Radiant became a part of the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening. It is our belief that more can be accomplished together than working alone.
