What to Expect
A guide to what happens on a typical Sunday.
From the flow of the service, how we respond in singing, communion and giving to what to wear so you can feel comfortable and prepared.
An overview of our Radiant Kids environment, what your kids will experience, how we keep them safe, and how we partner with you in pointing them to Jesus.

Communion
Communion helps us remember what Jesus has done.
The bread represents His body.
The cup represents His blood, given for the forgiveness of sins (Luke 22:19–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26).
We take communion every week as a way to pause, reflect, and remember our need for Him (1 Corinthians 11:26–28).
After the message, we enter a time of response with singing, prayer, giving, and reflection. You can come to the back at any point to receive the bread and the cup.
If you trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior, we invite you to participate.
If you’re still figuring that out, we ask that you wait on taking communion and instead consider the invitation Jesus offers to receive forgiveness and new life in Him.
What to Wear
Come as you are. You’ll see everything from jeans and hoodies to button-ups and dresses. There’s no dress code here.
We’re not focused on what you wear, but on who we’re worshiping. So wear what’s comfortable and helps you engage without distraction.
Radiant Kids
Kids Classes
Radiant Kids is a place where children are cared for, taught, and pointed to Jesus in an age-appropriate way.
We offer four classes:
Nursery: 6 weeks to 2 years
Pre-K: ages 3–4
K–2nd Grade
3rd–5th Grade
Kids are dismissed toward the end of family singing and worship. Families are always welcome to keep their children with them if they prefer.
Our goal isn’t just to occupy kids; it’s to help them know who God is and what He has done, in a way they can understand and grow in.
Safety
Your child’s safety matters to us, and we take it seriously.
All Radiant Kids volunteers are carefully screened and undergo regular background checks. Each Sunday, we use a secure check-in and check-out process to ensure that every child is accounted for.
Parents receive a matching tag at check-in, and our system allows us to text you during the service if your child needs assistance.
Our goal is to create a safe, trusted environment where kids can learn and grow, and parents can participate in the service with peace of mind.
Get Involved
Gospel Communities
Gospel Communities are how we live as the church beyond Sunday.
They are smaller groups that meet during the week to build relationships, grow in God’s Word, and live on mission together. This is where we move from simply attending to belonging - walking with others who are helping us follow Jesus.
We do this because discipleship doesn’t happen best in rows, but in circles.
Serving
Serving is one of the ways we worship. On Sundays and beyond.
We don’t gather as consumers, but as participants; each of us using our time, gifts, and abilities to build up the church and point others to Jesus (1 Peter 4:10).
Whether it’s setting up, welcoming, serving kids, or meeting needs throughout the week, there’s a place for you to be part of what God is doing.
Giving
Giving is an act of worship and a response to what God has first given to us.
If you’re visiting, there is no expectation for you to give. If you call Radiant Matsu your home, giving is an act of worship and obedience, trusting God as our provider and participating in what He is doing through His church (2 Corinthians 9:6–8).
You can give online, or by cash or check in the wooden boxes on the response tables in the back.
