Student Ministry
Hi! My name is Thomas, and I am the youth pastor here at Awakening Church. We live in a world that desperately tries to drive a wedge between the youth of today and God. Everything around this generation tells them that God is not real! And that belief in God He is irrelevant in today’s society. Well, Awakening Youth exists to awaken this generation out of spiritual death and religious complacency, calling them to their individual purpose and corporate responsibility as an offensive army representing the Kingdom of God. With the sole purpose to glorify God! Awakening Youth is committed to; • Impact all youth and create disciples for Christ out of unbelievers. • Impart the word of God to build their spiritual life. • Emplace leaders and grow them into their calling. • And empower all believers to increase their faith and relationship with God. Awakening Youth is dedicated to reach one, equip one, to send one. 1) Reach: Impact – Show God to be real through love, impartation, and experience. 2) Equip: Impart & Emplace – Raise up leaders who are spiritually mature, and create disciple of Christ. Identify leaders who have a call of God on their life and help them advance into their calling. 3) Send: Empower – Support those who have been called by God and foster their relationship with Christ. Awakening Youth meets every Wednesday night at 6:30 PM. We fellowship, maybe play a game or two, engage in dynamic praise and worship, and then dive deep into the Word of God for a challenging message before breaking up and talking about that message in a leader led smaller group setting. Awakening Youth is dedicated to showing this generation that God is real, through tangible and manifest experiences with Jesus. There are no pretenses, no bullying, and no cliques. Awakening Youth is the family of God! Come check us out on Wednesday at 6:30 PM! But when you do, anticipate God showing up, and come expecting! Blessings!!! Right now, we're experiencing two kinds of deficits with the teenage interaction with the American Church. You see on one hand, there is this group of teenagers that don't know the Lord and they're going through life on their own strength and they're helpless and hopeless. Then on the other hand you have this group of teenagers that do know the Lord and they're on fire for God and yet they don't have a place to serve. Our job at The Community Service is to awaken both of those groups. Awaken people that do not know the Lord with the salvation in the hope that Christ offers. Then to also come into the lives of people that do know the Lord and give them a place to serve. We give them a people to minister to and give them a word to speak in this helpless generation. So this is our solution for all this: to come and join these groups together to make these two groups friends, to make these two groups ministers of the other and to leave this place and go out and reach the lost. What we're asking is for people to join us in this movement of a community reaching out for the lost and building up the Christians within that, both being focused on outreach but also on discipleship. We want to see teens ignited and awakened with the love of Jesus Christ, going to impact their world. We would love for you guys to be a part of that with us, to come alongside teenagers, whether you're an adult and you say "you know what, I would just love to walk through life with somebody and be able to be the person in their life who has been there and done that and give them Godly wisdom" or if your teenager and you say "you know what, I'm looking for a community that's an actual community, where they know what's going on in my life and they know what's going on in our world and they give me an opportunity to impact it." If that's you, we would love for you to join us in that. The Community Service meets once a week on Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m. Our mission is to learn how to love like, live like, and serve like Christ. On a typical Youth group night there's some dancing that takes place, there's worship and sometimes there is really funny games we play. There's conversations between sponsors and teenagers. and we also have one sponsor who really likes teenagers to do random things, like drink soda through a sock. we have our high school girls who get really deep and they talk about life. We have the middle school girls that are so funny and so full of life. They like to go on tangents and we love talking about celebrities and things. We even have a themed room that's half Mario. We would say to any teenager that is looking for a place to belong and to be loved to come down and check us out. We genuinely have individuals that just want to pour into your life, you don't have to walk through life alone. We think that the enemy tries to get us into this lie that we are alone but you're not alone. If you choose to come in, we're going to love on you, we're going to talk to you, we're going to walk through this messy thing we call life together and we're going to be there for you. We know that teenage years are messy, they're awkward, they're smelly and there's no way of making them necessarily pretty looking but we're going to walk you through that and there's a way to do it that you don't have to be alone. That is one of our favorite things about The Community Service, is that it is a community. It is not a place where we come and put on happy faces, a place where everybody's perfect and everybody's Christian and nobody ever cusses, it's a place where we come and we just do life. We preach the message of the Gospel and we bring hope into cruddy situations. We bring love into messed up lives. I love The Community Service because it is organic, it's not structured, its not a place where you have to come here with your mask on. Come here as you are and we come alongside you and love you regardless.
Young Adult Ministry
Have you ever gone to church and just felt like part of a crowd? Maybe you weren't given the opportunity to really adhere the culture. This is a major problem and it demands a major solution. The young adult ministry is designed specifically for college and 20-somethings, so you know you'll fit right in. This allows you to make a direct link to people just like you and gives everyone a group of friends to encourage them and lift them up. Our small group meet Sunday nights 7:30 for shenanigans hijinks and tomfoolery but mostly to dig into the word so if you like to find out more just visit our website. Come join us for small group.
Adult Ministry
Please join us Sunday Nights at 5:30 to dig deeper into how we can better mirror Jesus in our lives. Lessons are based off 1 Peter 2:4-6. The women's ministries at Awakening Church offers a lot of events for women, both large and small. Our Senior's Ministry gives older folks a chance to fellowship, reminisce about the past, and enjoy other people's company around 6 great potlucks per year. We're trying to do of a program at each the these potlucks, something small. We might have a sing along, we might a skit, we might have something. Just come and see it or come and visit we love people. Bring a friend! Seniors' Ministry has been very successful. We run roughly 40 to 50 people on Sunday Potlucks and everybody seems to enjoy it. Plus there's always plenty of wonderful food. It gives a chance to be together and reminisce about old times and things that are going on in our lives without the competition of small children. Our potlucks looks like a lot of food and a lot of fellowship and a lot of friendliness and happiness. We have a crew that helps out periodically, especially on the cleanup end of it. We let everybody know that we're going to have a potluck and they bring what they want. We don't put a theme on it, except Thanksgiving The women's ministries at Awakening Church offers a lot of events for women, both large and small. We have a retreat once a year where women get to do things that they have never done before, like the zip lining and wall climbing. While doing this, we really grow in our relationship with one another as we grow in our walk with the Lord. We have a mentoring program, known as woman-to-woman mentoring, where a woman can pair up with another woman and share their personal walk with the Lord with someone else and walk alongside them. If you talk with women about their spiritual journey, more times than not, they'll tell you about a relationship they had with another Christian woman who walked alongside them in their journey with the Lord. It's important to have those relationships and to share with one another. We have fun times as well as meaningful spiritual times but we like to laugh too and have a good time together. We have an event called 'Jesus, Jammies and Junk Food' where we wear jammies, bring junk food and share in a time of fellowship with one another.
Worship Experiences
We have a problem. The world we live in is dying. Deprived of the lifeblood that keeps it's heart pumping, we search for a way to stop the pain inside us all. There is a disconnect between the world and the God who created it. At Awakening Church we provide a place to experience the wonder and glory of God. In John, 4:23 Jesus said, "... The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him." We believe that time is now and that we are those people. By worshipping God we are given life. And by worshipping God we glorify Him above all else. Our blended worship experience gathers Sundays at 9:30 am Our contemporary worship experience gathers on Sundays at 11 am. Unite with us as we worship God together, grow together, and are sent out to reach the world.
Serving the Community
Serving the needs of our community is not just about programs, it's about helping our neighbor on a personal level. Everyday people all around us wake up unable to take care of their own needs Every single effort and every person involved in serving understand the importance of this Feeding out community and providing counseling services is only the start of our push to support people Join us as we continue to reach out to our community, our nation, and our world
