Pastor Michael Popenhagen
Worship & Creative Arts Pastor
Pastor Mike has been leading worship for Radiant Church since 1997 with a vision for authentic and attainable worship. He has always had a passion for music and has been musically influenced by people such as the Beatles, Roy Orbison and Del Shannon. His band’s style ranges from pop to alternative rock with an acoustic drive through his use of the Hammond organ and acoustic and electric guitars.
Michael has become a seasoned songwriter and musician whose love for God is apparent in the songs he writes and the way he worships. He says, “In worship music, people are changed, are touched by God and are healed, and I love being a part of that. I don’t want to go and just entertain people - I really want them to experience God.”
Mike is greatly supported by his wife, Jennifer, and their boys, Michael, Curtis and Joseph. He is also an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, fishing and camping in his spare time.
