Pastoral Staff

Pastors Jim and Donna Snyder have been Senior Pastors at Radiant Life Church since 1984. Prior to their calling to Texas, the Snyders pastored churches in Nebraska and Missouri.

At the age of 13, Pastor Snyder was healed of a heart condition in answer to prayer at a Voice of Healing Crusade under the ministry of Richard Vinyard. God’s demonstration of his love drew Pastor Snyder to salvation and later, full-time ministry.

Rev. Jim Snyder graduated from Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, North Dakota in 1968 and went on to receive his ordination with the Assemblies of God. He and Sister Snyder met while he was in college and have been married since 1968.

The Snyders traveled extensively across the country as evangelist during the Charismatic movement of the 1970s. They have since continued to work across denominational lines, teaching on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. They have ministered to Lutheran, Catholic, Church of Christ, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, and Full Gospel congregations and continue to see God pour out His Spirit on all flesh both nationally and internationally.

Pastor Snyder’s gift of teaching presents Biblical truth in a manner easily understood. He shares real life experiences and demonstrates how the truth of God’s word can be applied on a personal level.
