Radiant Church — Heights - Tampa (FL)

1 /5 Brianna Labour: Was attending this church for about 2 years. Was going good at first but my children started dealing with prejudicism, my oldest was get told racist comments. Then they would accuse her of smoking it was just bad experience. They talk alot about community and helping but when it comes to the people in the church they dont help very much. Its franchised alot about the money have kids leading the youth and they dont even have life experiences. Have sinful people being leaders in the church the list can go on. The leaders and directors look down to certain people that dont fit theyre criteria. I wont even step foot in this church again. Im sadden I allowed any of the people from this congregation to pray for me and my family. Ever since I been out this church God has been moving way more for me than being in this church. I learned more about the bible after removing myself than staying in this church.

5 /5 Hank Geiter: My daughter is in the church choir as it is very competitive and she loves singing and is very talented. She loves the people there.

2 /5 Caitlin Elliott: Really thought the entire setup very odd and gave the vibes of franchised retail chain mega-church, in that the main campus in South Tampa just broadcasts Aaron Burke’s service via live feed on a massive projector screen, instead of having the location pastor creating and having his own service that follows the weekly theme. I was expecting the location pastor to have written and thought out his own service, but all he did was stand up, introduce himself and then pull up the live feed of Aaron preaching from South Tampa. It just feels very impersonal, takes away the importance of the location pastor’s duty and connection to that local congregation, and gives me the feeling that location pastors are just empty figureheads with diminished purpose, like a McDonalds franchise with a store manager while Aaron as the self-important “CEO” pastor, gets absolute authority. It makes it seem that Aaron doesn’t condone location pastors having their own creative control, that maybe he’s a bit of an authoritarian over the entire chain of locations, and/or that all locations are just loud speakers and additional seating for the main south Tampa campus which is really antithetical to what I value in a local church. Some people might love this setup but I find it severely lacking.

5 /5 David Orlando: This has been our church home for the last 3 years, and my wife & I have been so blessed. The focus on Jesus is so evident here in how they emphasize worship, community outreach, and small group life. Love being a small part in what God is doing in the Tampa Heights area!

5 /5 Katie Kish: I attended Radiant’s Heights location for 3 years and absolutely love this church. I grew so much closer to Jesus through the worship, small groups, Dream Team, and Sunday sermons. It is an amazing, Christ-centered community and is an awesome blessing to the Heights. I can’t recommend enough checking out this church!
