What is Back to School Blessing?

Back to School Blessing is a free community event hosted by Radiant Church in Lexington, KY, created to help children and families start the school year with confidence, encouragement, and prayer.

On Sunday, August 2, 2026, we will be blessing children in our community with school supplies and a welcoming back-to-school experience for the whole family. Our heart is to come alongside families, meet practical needs, and speak God’s blessing over students as they step into a new school year.

Inspired by Numbers 6:24–26, we believe every child should begin the school year knowing they are seen, loved, covered, and supported.

How Can I Help?

We are collecting school supplies and preparing for a free back-to-school event where children can receive the items they need for the upcoming school year. Whether you give supplies, serve at the event, or help spread the word, your generosity makes a real difference for students and families.
