Our story

Pastor Trevor and Lyndsey Atchley launched Radical Church in September 2020 at Negley Elementary School in Kyle, TX

Radical Church moved to Wallace Middle School in Summer 2022

Due to God’s blessing and the generosity of our members, Radical Church moved into our first church home on Easter 2023

Values

  • We believe that people matter. Nothing is more important than this value because Jesus said so! Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. If we do those two things, we know we are on the right track.

  • No one is perfect here. Even Pastor Trevor! Don't tell him we said that... It is true though. No one in this world is perfect, but we are a church where everyone belongs. If you have been a Christian your whole life, or you have never stepped foot in a church, you have a place here in our family!

  • What is the point of a church that is all about themselves? Every city Jesus went to was better after he left. We have a heart to see Kyle flourish! That means we will partner with Hays CISD, local charities, and more to help our city become an even better place to live.

  • "It is better to give than to receive" - Jesus. This goes against our American culture, but when you start to give to people in need and organizations that are making a real difference in the world, you will truly understand why He made this profound statement. We give because He gave, and we are happy to do so!

  • Listen, church should be fun! We don't know where you've been before, but if it wasn't fun, then they weren't doing it right! Getting together with our family and friends to celebrate what God is doing in our families and our city is the most exciting thing to do. We value laughter, family activities, and eating some great food.

  • Radical is the word that God gave Pastor Trevor when he was called to start this church. Radical Faith is simply this: We believe God for the big things. There are families that need to be mended, addictions that need to be broken, sicknesses that need to be healed, hope that needs to be restored, and we believe that it is through our radical faith in God that we will see these things happen.

    Everyone is on their own journey, so if you don't feel like you have this kind of faith, don't worry! Our goal is to see everyone take one step closer to God, whatever that step may be. We are honored to walk on this journey together with you.

Beliefs

  • The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.

    2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26

  • There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal.

    1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11

  • Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind, and atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

    John 1:1,14, 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; 1 Timothy 2:5

  • God is great: He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, Holy. It is in Him that we live, move and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.

    Exodus 3:14 Numbers 23:19 Leviticus 11:44-45; 19:2 Psalm 11:4-6 Malachi 3:6 John 3:16; 4:24; 5:26; 14:1 Acts 17:28 Romans 3:3-4

  • The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.

    The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The Bible’s lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters.

    Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12 :4-8; Ephesians 4:16; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10

  • We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ: His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.

    Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22

  • Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.

    John 3:16, 36 Romans 6:23 1 John 2:25; 5:11-13 Revelation 20:15

  • Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

    Genesis 1:26-30; 2:7, 18-22; 3 Psalms 8:3-6; 32:1-5; 51:5 Isaiah 6:5 Jeremiah 17:5 Acts 17:26-31 Romans 1:19-32; 3:10-18, 23; 5:6; 6:6; 7:14-25 1 Corinthians 1:21-31; 15:19, 21-22 Ephesians 2 Colossians 1:21-22; 3:9-11

  • The Church is a local community of believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.

    Matthew 16:18-19; 18:15-20 Acts 2:41-47; 5:11-14; 13:1-3; 14:23; 16:5; 20:28 1 Corinthians 7:17; 9:13-14; 12 Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:10-12; 5:22-32 Colossians 1:18; 3:15 1 Timothy 4:14 1 Peter 5:1-4 Revelation 21:2-3

  • Water Baptism: Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 10:47-48).

    The Lord's Supper: A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) 'are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross (Matthew 26:26-29; I Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25).
