Season of Advent

WHO WE ARE

Awaken to the wonder, hope and healing found in Jesus. We continue the witness of generations concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ//that he is indeed alive, active in our world and is coming again to fully establish his kingdom among all people. Because of this reality, The Awakening Church desires for every person is to become Fully Alive in Christ and to His Mission. Join us on the journey of awakening

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (Jesus - John 10:10)

ASM | AWAKENING STUDENT MINISTRY

From Middle School to High School, we believe today's youth can be a movement for Jesus in the world. We are here to worship, grow spiritually, build a biblical foundation for life and love others ... all while learning more about our identity in Christ and how to have intimacy with God. Our student ministry leadership team loves youth from all walks of life and whatever background of spiritual interest.
