Hello! I'm Dina Hackert.

 

As a young girl, I had a love and passion for sports and went on to play college basketball. While at Hope College, I helped lead my basketball team to the NCAA National Championship by sinking two free throws with no time left on the clock. Drawing on my athletic history, I continue to speak on various high school and college campuses. Through my parents' divorce, sports injuries, and two diagnoses of cancer, I have experienced firsthand the faithfulness of God to His Word, and therefore I have a passion for people to experience Him through the power of His Word when applied to their lives.

 

After completing Bible School, my husband Jeff and I planted our first church in Michigan in 2000. In September of 2015, we planted Radiant Church in Brandenburg, KY. We, along with our congregation, place a high value on making an impact in our community with the love and light of Christ. In addition to pastoring, I minister at various types of conferences, retreats, and athletic events. I coach our local high school girls' varsity basketball team and am on the coaching staff for Kentucky Premiere on the EYBL Circuit.

​

Jeff and I have been married for 34 years and have four children: Travis, Leah, Spencer, and Calvin. Travis and his wife, Ali, live in Brandenburg, KY with their sons, Grady, Griffin, Grant, & Gavin. Leah and her husband, Scott, also reside in Brandenburg, KY with their three kids, Payson, Piper, and Nash. Spencer and his wife, Katie, along with their sons, JJ & Charlie, live in Kalamazoo, MI where Spencer pastors at Radiant Church. Calvin resides in Denver, CO where he teaches elementary P.E.
