About US
"More than religion, it's a revolution!"
- Pastor Chris
Our chrch
RAD Chrch is a 100% prayer fueled, Spirit led & Bible fed bunch of believers who form a real, authentic & different church planted in Jacksonville, Arkansas. We have a passion for radically representing Jesus and radically reaching people in Jacksonville and beyond. We truly believe that a world that is mundane, artificial & delusional needs a church that is the opposite of itself. Hence the slogan "A world gone MAD needs a church that's RAD!"
"We are a chrch that is REAL, AUTHENTIC & DIFFERENT."
It's literally what our name means. Everything we do is radically real, authentic & different.
"We are a chrch that is all about revolution over religion."
We live to see lives revolutionized in Christ not lives religionized in Christ.
"We are a chrch that is unashamedly not about u, but absolutely for u."
It's why we leave the u out of church. A reminder that Jesus is the only reason we exist.
Our Leaders
Pastor Chris & Robyn Craven
Have you ever felt like you wanted more? More of some thing? More of some one? More of whatever? That was us in 2018. We were sitting on the back porch like we do and felt an overwhelming desire for more. More of our personal relationships with Christ, more in our walk together with Christ, more for the ministry we felt called to and just not sure what that was. So we did what we do and we began to talk it out with God together.
​
Over the course of several hours it became very clear to us that God was calling us to start something new, something different and something that would pull us considerably out of our comfort zone. He was calling us to start a church.
​
After several years, a few too many missteps and a lot of prayer and fasting here we are and here is RAD Chrch.
We are Chris & Robyn Craven and these are our amazing kids, Hayden & Addyson. Together, we have devoted our lives to proving that relationship means so much more than religion.
We have walked the steps of basic, boring & bland religion for many years and God has clearly shown us that the time for more is now. Time for more authenticity and any and all things different! Time for more of Jesus!
​
Our mission is to offer the invitation for "more" to as many people that are tired of the mundane, artificial & delusional offered by the culture and most churches today.
​
Our mission is to "make much of the Messiah" and "revolutionize live in Christ!"
​
We pray you will join us!
