Impacting Communities and Beyond!

Our heart at Awaken Church is to share the good news of God through words and actions. As such, we are proud and honored to partner with organizations both here in San Diego and around the globe that are making a positive impact within the community.

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Mark 16:15 [NKJV]

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16 [NKJV]

Local Partnerships

Our responsibility, first and foremost, is to reach out to those in our own backyard, the city of San Diego, by meeting practical needs and sharing the Good News of Jesus with people. We are dedicated to raising and releasing each believer to fulfill the Great Commission. We each have a responsibility to do the work of the ministry (James 5:13). Our desire is that people will see the city they live in as their mission field and be the solution to this hurting world.

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Matthew 28:18-20 [NKJV]

We See You, San Diego

Every week We See You, San Diego provides 150-200 of our homeless neighbors, who camp out in the Mission Valley Riverbed, Old Town, & Point Loma areas, a home cooked meal with a full service restaurant-style alfresco dining experience with fresh squeezed juice, gourmet coffee syrups, and a mobile dessert cart. They play loud worship music, give away raffle prizes, and most importantly, sit down, have conversations & pray with people.

Beyond San Diego Partnerships

In addition to our local community outreach initiatives, Awaken Church has cultivated relationships with some of the most well-respected and results-driven organizations that exist today outside of San Diego. Partnering with these organizations allows Awaken Church to play a part in the success of these organizations and provides opportunities for our church to help support them by volunteering to serve or by giving financially. The following organizations extend our reach outside of San Diego and allow our church to truly make a difference worldwide.

The Dream Center offers mobile hunger relief and medical programs, residential rehabilitation programs for adults, shelter for victims of human trafficking, transitional housing for homeless families, foster care intervention programs, job/life skills training, counseling, basic education, Bible studies, and more. They work to meet people where they are at and to bring them hope beyond what they have previously known.

SHE Rescue Home

The SHE Rescue Home provides a micro-enterprise business to equip the families of the girls with skills that will empower them to flourish and generate their own income. We currently support the SHE Rescue Home through the generous donations made by members of our church.
