3 YEAR MULTIPLICATION CHALLENGE
The mission of RADIUS Church is to glorify God by making disciples, planting churches, and living generously. Together 21 is a vision-setting challenge for our church to passionately and extraordinarily live out our mission. We’ve spent our first 18 years listening and responding to God’s shaping of our church. Before turning 21, we want to become a church that multiplies. Our hope is that each partner will make a disciple (UX2), we’ll double our groups which doubles our opportunity for biblical community (GX2), each church will plant a church (CX2), and we’ll double the amount we gave in generosity in the first 18 years in just three years ($X2). Â

God has uniquely shaped us as RADIUS Church. Â Take a walk back through our first 18 years as we remember and praise God for the stories we can tell of his faithfulness!
Lead Pastor John Reeves along with our campus pastors, presented Together 21 at a Partner Night August 28, 2021. These ideas will strategically shape our activity and generosity to help us accomplish the mission God has given us.
We gathered on August 28, 2022 for our 19th Birthday Party. We celebreated 19 stories of God at work, introduced the “Opportunity Fund”, and announced our 7th campus: RADIUS Carolina!
On January 9, 2022, we took some time to review our mission and to talk about healthy multiplication as we seek to double disciples, double groups, double churches, and double generosity before we turn 21. John Reeves, lead pastor, encouraged us to take our “prenatal vitamins” – growing spiritually healthy ourselves – before we begin reproducing. He also described what it looks like to be a level 4 and 5 church that is growing through multiplication. Watch the video for the full sermon.
Ux2 | Baptisms at Centerville
What a joy it was to celebrate the baptisms of 6 people on March 20th! After making the decision that they wanted to publicly declare their faith and love for Jesus, these 6 shared their stories with our church family and were washed by the water. Baptisms are always so special and it is always such an honor to witness fellow believers take this step!

Ux2 | Baptisms at Saluda
We baptized two students recently at RADIUS Saluda.
Malachi Woolsey went to Winter Jam. He has believed in Jesus for a while but that night, he heard Skillet (a band at Winter Jam) talk about truth. He said that only real Truth comes from Christ. It really hit him and went home and talked to his dad about following Jesus. He made a decision that night that he wanted to follow Christ. His father Kevin participated in the baptism.

$X2 | Give Hope: Batesburg – Leesville High School
In 2019, we strategically made the decision to go ahead and give to a community where we wanted to plant a church, hoping that our generosity would earn us the right to have conversations about Jesus. RADIUS Centerville (then Rocky Creek) delivered the funds and that began a great relationship between Sonya Bryant and her staff. As you can tell from the video, Sonya is passionate about her school and community and deeply cares for the people she meets. Today, Sonya isn't just a Give Hope partner, she and her husband are now partners at RADIUS Centerville.
$X2 | Give Hope: Eau Claire High School
Eau Claire HIgh School is one of our new Give Hope Partners. We're excited to see how they will use Give Hope funds to help families in need in the Columbia area. Give Hope is a partnership between RADIUS Church and trusted community partners to take care of our community. Funds are quickly and effectively funneled through vetted partners such as school administrators, teachers, counselors, and various community organizations to take care of crisis needs as they arise – not just at Christmas – but all throughout the year.
