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 Jesus

It's all about Him. Spirit-filled worship, prayer and fasting, and making Jesus famous in Norwich.

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.

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.
