Radiant New Life Church
About Us
How it all started
Founded on divine guidance, Radiant New Life Church originated in October 2020. During a worship night, God issued a clear directive to establish a new congregation in the Panama City, FL area, a calling specifically affirmed for Pastors Eric & Désirée Schroeder through a prophetic word in November 2020.
Responding in obedience, the first service for Radiant New Life Church was held on June 19, 2021, hosted within another church's sanctuary. The church then transitioned to its own dedicated facility in Lynn Haven, FL, in January 2022, a testament to God's continued provision.
Expanding the vision...
Our objective is to create an atmosphere of worship conducive to ushering in the glory of God. We aspire for all individuals to experience the comprehensive blessings God provides, including the healing of both physical and spiritual needs. Integral to our mission is the cultivation of devoted men and women prepared to outreach, preach the Gospel, and demonstrate the transformative love of Jesus Christ.
Where we are headed...
Our vision is to usher in a transformative movement of devoted believers, passionately pursuing the presence and glory of God. We achieve this through dynamic worship experiences and revelatory, in-depth biblical teaching, all designed to ignite personal revival within each individual.
