Radiant Church is a multi-campus Christian non-profit organization founded in 1996 by Pastor Lee Cummings, headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The organization operates three physical locations across Kalamazoo County: a main campus in Richland at 8157 E De Ave, a secondary campus in Portage at 995 Romence Rd, and the Radiant City Center in downtown Kalamazoo at 210 Farmers Alley, which houses a dedicated Prayer Room. The church serves individuals and families in the Kalamazoo area seeking Christian fellowship, offering Sunday worship services at three times (8:15AM, 9:30AM, and 11:15AM) across its campuses, supplemented by daily prayer meetings Monday through Thursday at 7AM and 12PM and Tuesday evenings at 7PM. In 2025, the church recorded 142,493 total Sunday attendance across all locations, 1,091 salvations, and 295 water baptisms.

The organization's ministry ecosystem extends beyond weekly worship to include age-targeted programs (Radiant Kids for children 6 weeks through 5th grade, Radiant Students for middle and high schoolers with Wednesday evening programming), a small group ministry (Radiant Groups, with 177 active groups and 542 average attendance per semester), a ministry training school (Radiant School of Ministry with Full-Time, Part-Time, LAUNCH, and Worship tracks), a worship music recording label (Radiant City Music), and an outreach initiative (Kingdom Builders) focused on local and global missions, evangelism, church planting, and community impact (including the PowerUp food program serving 468 students across 14 schools). Technology infrastructure includes Radiant Connect, an online church management system for member communication, scheduling, group sign-ups, and profile management, integrated with the ccbchurch.com platform. The church maintains a digital presence with 399,900 YouTube channel views, 513,750 Instagram reach, and 171,741 website visitors reaching 99 countries in 2025.

The church does not publicly disclose its financials, with audited statements scheduled for release in Summer 2026. The organization employs 61 staff and engages approximately 1,076 active volunteers ("Team Radiant").
