Connect Groups
At Awaken Church, we do life together. God did not design us to do life alone. One of the ways we do this is through connect groups, which are small groups that meet throughout the city, helping to facilitate more intentional connections.
Prayer Meetings
Here at Awaken, we don’t see prayer meetings as another “churchy” thing to do during the week. We know that these gatherings are truly the “engine room” of the church and propels the vision, mission, and culture of our church!
