2025 Annual Report

Letter from Pastor Lee
& Jane Cummings

As we reflect on this past year, we are reminded of the words from Proverbs 4:18: “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” This 2025 report serves as a powerful testimony to God’s continued faithfulness to us as we continue to lead people to encounter, follow, and proclaim Jesus. We celebrate the countless stories of redemption, brokenness turned into breakthroughs, and physical healing that have become beautiful testimonies of His power and provision within our church family. May we look back with hearts full of gratitude and step into the future with bold faith, knowing that for Radiant Church, the best is yet to come.
