Radiant Church

What Radiant Church does

Radiant Church is a multi-site Assemblies of God-affiliated church organization headquartered in Surprise, Arizona, operating five campuses across the Phoenix metropolitan area and northern Arizona: Surprise (founding campus and livestream hub, with the NextGen Building), Sun City (a 55+ community site), El Mirage (all-Spanish services hosted at El Mirage Elementary School), Deer Valley in north Phoenix, and Williams in northern Arizona. The church is led by Lead Pastors Caden and Hope Metcalf, supported by a pastoral team including Kevin and Brandi Melton (Kids Pastors), Tim Murlatt, Jamin Metcalf, and Leigh Metcalf, plus a Connections lead for serve-team operations.

The organization's core product is weekly in-person worship services plus an integrated set of age- and stage-specific ministry programs: Kids (birth through 5th grade), Next Gen Youth (6th-12th grade), Young Adults (18-29), Adult Ministries (Men, Women, Marriage, Singles, Seniors), a Special Needs program (CLUB210), and a dedicated Spanish-language congregation. Additional programming includes the Life Groups small-group network (6-20 people per group), Growth Track (a three-week onboarding class with spiritual-gifts and personality assessments), monthly Water Baptisms, Radiant Recovery (a proprietary faith-based recovery curriculum with a participant workbook and breakouts for grief, divorce, addiction, trauma, and codependency), and the REACH outreach program with international mission trips to Guadalajara, Mexico and Santa Ana, El Salvador, plus partnerships with Convoy of Hope and FireBible.

The business model is a nonprofit voluntary-contribution model. The primary revenue stream is tithes and offerings collected during weekend services and processed through a multi-channel giving stack: an online giving portal, SMS text-to-give (text 'GIVE' to 623-254-5217), and cryptocurrency donations via a dedicated crypto giving platform (Overflow). Secondary fee income is generated from camps and conferences priced per person (Kids Camp $60, Youth Camp $325, Young Adult Weekend $245, Alive Conference $50). Distribution combines physical campuses, a livestream, a website, a YouTube channel (@RadiantChurchAZ), Instagram (@radiant.ya for Young Adults), and a mobile app deployed on iOS App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and Roku Channel Store. No proprietary technology stack is identified beyond third-party SaaS tooling (Subsplash-style app build, Overflow for crypto, standard online giving platform).
