THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
We’re all hard-wired to want to make our lives count. None of us wants to get to the end of life, look back, and realize, “I missed the point.” So how do we make our lives count? This step-by-step journey through the life of Jesus in the book of Matthew will reveal a clear answer to that question. And for all who are bold enough to follow his lead, by God’s grace we are guaranteed to get to the end of our time in this world and realize, “My life counted for what matters most.”

ABOUT SECRET CHURCH
Years ago, David Platt taught and ministered among underground Asian house churches where believers were forced to gather in secret, sometimes at the risk of their own lives due to hostility from the government, from the surrounding community, and even from their own families. Secret Church is an opportunity for us to gather and intensely study the Bible and pray like and for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.
Radical’s Secret Church is a unique, one-night event that happens annually.
Encouraged by our persecuted brothers’ and sisters’ example, we will meet for nearly 6 hours for intense study of God’s Word and passionate prayer for the persecuted.

FAQs
Who can participate in Secret Church?
Anyone can register to participate in Secret Church. Individuals are welcome to purchase single tickets, though we highly encourage group registration whenever possible.
Can a local church or small group host a local gathering?
Yes! In fact we highly encourage churches, small groups, college ministries to join us for Secret Church together as a group.
Do you offer any larger ticket packages for churches?
Yes! We also have a 200 and 500 pack for large groups.
Can we stream Secret Church from home?
Yes! The Secret Church stream is a web-based broadcast and can be viewed in your church, home, school, workplace, or anywhere in the world that has a strong internet connection.
Can we delay the start time of Secret Church?
Yes! You can delay the start of the stream if the start time does not work for your group. Since we start at 7:00 pm EDT (GMT-4), this option is often helpful for groups in Mountain and Pacific time zones. You will have access to the stream through May 15, so you can replay the video sessions at any time during that period.

1. Make sure to register so that you can get access to the video steam.
2. Once you register we will send you a free printed copy* as well as a digital copy of the Guided Scripture Journal.
3. Make sure to have a stable internet connection.
4. Bring plenty of pens and highlighters.
If you’ve done Secret Church before, you’ll notice that the Study Guide this year is different. We’re calling it a Guided Scripture Journal. It’s designed less around filling in blanks (although there are some of them), but more for you to take notes in the actual text of the Bible as we walk through it. Our hope is that you will mark up the text and take all kinds of notes as God speaks to you through His Word.
How can we attend the location where David will be speaking?
We have intentionally designed this event to be experienced all over the world, across every time zone. All the details of the event, including how we film and produce it, are designed with the goal of gathering the body of Christ together for concentrated study of the Word. We encourage you to gather physically with people around you, as you join with thousands of others around the world, on April 11 via the online stream.
Where can we find Secret Church resources from past events?
You can find session media, study guide downloads, discussion questions, and more from past Secret Church events on our Secret Church archive page.
I have other questions that aren’t answered here. How can I contact the Secret Church team?
