What are your weekend services like?
At Radiant Life Church, you’ll find a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that creates a meaningful worship experience. Three large projection screens help you make the most of the practical and relevant messages, announcements, and special events.
Children are well-cared for in a loving, quality preschool and fun-filled and Biblically based Elementary Children's church.
First Sunday is Missions emphasis and Fourth Sunday Communion is served.
If you are visiting for the first time, we will not embarrass you, have you stand up, or ask you to give money.
You’ll find people here dressed just like you! Everything from casual clothes to suits and ties is welcomed in our services. Come in what is comfortable for you because Radiant Life is not about what you look like or what you wear.
We know that many people want to check out the relaxed atmosphere and see if this is the church for you. Every service is different so come and visit us several times in a row so you can give yourself time to meet great people and connect with others who want to know more about God.
When I arrive where do I go?
We are conveniently located west of the intersection at Central Ave and Walton Blvd in Bentonville. As you drive west from the intersection, you will see our older traditional building on West Central Ave. We call this our North building, which houses our youth ministries (7-12th grades), church offices, and fellowship hall.
If you have children, you might want to park in the East parking lot, enter the South (new metal) building, and enter through the lower lever double steels. This level is home to our baby, preschool, and elementary children’s ministries.
If you have a handicap or are a senior citizen, you may park on SW “J” Street directly in front of the South building (metal building). This entrance leads into our worship center.
Worship & Music
We believe in God-honoring worship that lifts the heart of man to the throne of God.
Our music style is similar to that of a contemporary Christian radio station. We seek to be led by the Spirit in every aspect of ministry. Typically, worship lasts about 4-5 songs, but it may vary from time to time as the Spirit leads. A large screen will project the words in case you are not familiar with the song.
What happens during services?
Prayer- During worship time you will have an opportunity to receive prayer at the altar with one of our trained prayer workers, if you so choose. You will find prayer a major emphasis at RLC.
Worship- contemporary & Spirit-filled.
Tithes & Offerings- we offer a variety of giving opportunities, including text to give, online giving, and two in- person giving stations located at the altars. The Offering will be received after a short teaching time about the principles of giving. As our guest this offering is NOT for you.
Preaching- Most Sunday’s Pastor Pearcy ministers the Word but on occasion there are guest speakers who fill the pulpit. Our pastor is passionate about the Word of God and this excitement is contiguous. If you have not already done so, check out our podcast of recent morning messages.
Pastor Pearcy has served in ministry since 1977, having previously served churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri and Tennessee. Has earned degrees in Bible, education and a Ph.D. in Pneumatology. He teaches Bible at Ecclesia College and also oversees a global network of ministers and ministries called FGEA.
Ministry response time- As the Holy Spirit speaks to you, you will have the opportunity to respond the Word of the Lord.
Communion is served on Fourth Sunday is open to everyone who has received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and is living a consistent Christian life, regardless of denominational affiliation.
Morning service concludes at around 12 noon. We never want to rush what the Holy Spirit is doing in people's lives but we also understand schedules.
Do you have a midweek service?
Yes, the doors open at 6:30 p.m. for fellowship, and Adult Bible study begins at 7 p.m. and concludes at 8 p.m. Each semester, a variety of groups with various topics will be offered.
