What visitors say

I love this community of believers, I have been attending for almost five years now. I am growing in the knowledge of God and in fellowship. ♥️🙏 Awaken Church has truly created an inclusive and vibrant community that welcomes people from all walks of life. As a relatively new member of this church, I have experienced firsthand the warmth, love, and genuine care that radiate throughout the congregation. The church's commitment to fostering a welcoming atmosphere for all ages and demographics is commendable and sets it apart from many others. One of the most remarkable aspects of Awaken Church is its ability to connect people from various backgrounds and life stages. From families with young children to single individuals and even seniors, everyone is made to feel valued and accepted. The leadership and volunteers go above and beyond to create an environment where everyone can find their place and experience a true sense of belonging. The range of connection groups offered by Awaken Church is truly impressive. Whether you're seeking a tight-knit community, spiritual growth, or a place to share common interests, there is a group for you. I have personally participated in the young adult group and a few of the home groups, and they have been instrumental in forming lasting friendships and deepening my faith. These groups provide a supportive space for individuals to connect, learn, and grow together in our faith. Furthermore, the engaging worship experiences at Awaken Church are truly uplifting and meaningful. The talented musicians and worship team create an atmosphere of heartfelt praise and worship, which allows attendees to connect with God in a powerful way. The messages delivered by the pastors are thought-provoking and relevant, providing spiritual nourishment and guidance for daily living. I joined Awaken 4 years ago, and what immediately stood out to me was its community. The people are friendly and welcoming, and it's small enough that you get to know people, while large enough that there's always new people to talk to. They operate on a rotating model of leadership, so there are a few pastors who preach, meaning you get to hear different perspectives and styles (same with worship team, etc). All pastors are deeply rooted in the word and take a humble, realistic approach, though. I find the sermons relevant and socially aware, speaking firmly about Biblical truth in gentleness and with an understanding of how it relates to us where we are. Awaken emphasizes discipleship, and its leadership is accessible if you are interested in leadership or starting an initiative yourself. Overall I'd say Awaken focuses well on community and serving the Lord in a way that is adaptable and always striving for improvement. Definitely at least worth a visit if you're looking for a church to try. As a partner with Awaken for the past three years, I have really appreciated the welcoming environment, solid and relevant biblical teaching, and the community I have built through participation in small groups and the weekly service. I love that it's small enough that I am able to know most of the regular attendees, and I feel that they have a very wise leadership structure. (Three pastors co-lead, hold each other accountable, and must be in agreement on church decisions.). They also approach a lot of ministries with intentionality and have structures in place to avoid burnout. Ultimately, a small but dedicated church that is active in ministry and in the community. I've been a part of this community for over 12 years, and I love the teaching and the people! It's led by multiple Pastors, so they have accountability with one another, and they genuinely try to submit to God's leadership over them and the Church. The people are very welcoming and sincerely care about one another. I've made wonderful friends here that are now like family! They have a solid Children's ministry and Youth Group, not flashy or over the top, but they teach the kids and love them well. And one of my favorite things is the Homegroups! They have several options that meet throughout the week in homes around the city, and these are a great opportunity to go deeper with people and grow together. Come on out and join us! We'd love to welcome you. :-)
