A NOTE FROM DR. BRIAN PINGEL
Radiant Church is committed to invest in the next generation of church leaders. Now we are taking the next step of blending the mentoring we’ve always provided with a credible academic program so that students can learn both experientially and in the classroom as they prepare for their future career. The Iowa Leadership College is a more significant step forward and our educational partner, Southeastern University will help provide a college education. Meanwhile, each student’s personal, spiritual and career formation will advance under the care of qualified spiritual leaders who see their role, as Ephesians 4:12 declares, “to equip God’s people to do his work..”. For ten years I served as a college professor and have journeyed with hundreds of students as they learned to follow God’s call on their life. I am personally thrilled to invite you to join the journey with us here!
