Loving Jesus
It's all about Him. Spirit-filled worship, prayer and fasting, and making Jesus famous in Norwich.
Pentecostal church · Norwich · Since 2013
Not perfect.
Not trendy.
Radical.
A church family in the heart of Norwich for anyone and everyone, especially the broken, the overlooked and the people who never thought church was for them.
Who we are
A church for the ones who don't fit in church.
Radical Church is a community of believers who simply love Jesus. We believe in the power of God to transform lives, especially the lives of the broken and the marginalised.
We preach the Full Gospel and the Whole Bible. We take church out onto the streets of Norfolk, send mission teams to India and Africa, and pray for revival in our county. Whether you've just come out of prison, you're fighting an addiction, or you've simply never set foot in a church before, there's a seat with your name on it.

Our mission
Three loves. That's it.
Everything we do comes back to one simple calling.
Loving each other
We're a family, not a crowd. We visit, pastor and disciple one another, raising up sons, daughters and warriors for the Kingdom.
Loving the lost
On the streets, in the prisons, in the parks and across the nations: anyone who feels far from God.
Discipleship
Everyone should have an input and an output.
You weren't made to sit in a chair while a few people at the front do everything.
We want to see every member discipled, and everyone who's been discipled then discipling someone else.
We're not a "jaffa" church. We believe every believer should be able to lead someone to Jesus, and should keep growing in the mission and calling God has for them.
InputGet discipledGrow in the Word, prayer and the life of the Spirit, with someone walking alongside you.
OutputDisciple someonePass on what you've received, and help someone else take their next step with Jesus.
The ten-part discipleship manual
Our discipleship manual has ten parts, with audio on Spotify. We encourage everyone to complete it, and to do it with someone, not on your own.
Coming soon
Advanced discipleship & internship
We're writing an advanced discipleship course, to run alongside a three-month internship programme in church.

Coming up
Church on the street
We don't wait for people to find church.
For nine years our double-decker Radical Hope Bus carried the gospel across Norfolk and beyond, from Chapelfield Gardens to King's Lynn, London and the Isle of Wight. We pray outside the prison, preach in the Haymarket, and throw free festivals in the park.
The Hope Bus is looking for a new home. After nine years of adventures with Jesus, our 1995 Volvo Olympian double-decker needs a new owner, ideally a ministry that will keep it on the road for the gospel. Get in touch if you can help.
India · 25 years and counting
Building Hope Village.
For a quarter of a century we've stood with the Saviour Jesus Orphanage in South India. Now we're helping relocate it: away from persecution and out of dormitories, into small family homes in one safe village.
- Rice fields boughtThree fields bought so the orphanage can grow its own food, with up to three harvests a year.
- Permission grantedA miracle: permission has been given to build on the one-acre rice field.
- A secure wall & gates £7,000A nine-foot wall to keep the children safe. This is what we're raising for now.
- Ten family homes £25k eachTen 6-bedroom homes where children can grow up in family-sized units.
Grow your faith
Daily bread.
Hundreds of short devotionals from Pastor Matt and the Radical family: a Bible passage, straight talk about real life, and a prayer to finish.
We aren't perfect, we aren't trendy, but we definitely don't believe in average.
