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.

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.
Where can I find promotional materials to share about the event at my church or community?
You can find a variety of promotional materials we’ve created to help you spread the word about the Secret Church 2025.
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.
