Grab a coffee or tea, meet a few people & make yourself at home.

When you arrive, someone from our Welcome Team will be there to greet you and help you get settled. If you have kids, we’ll help you find the right place for them.

The Nest, our nursery for birth through preschool, is located downstairs and opens 15 minutes before the service.

Rooted Kids, for kindergarten through fifth grade, checks in upstairs and begins the service with their families before heading to the kids space just before the sermon.

Then grab a coffee or tea, find a seat, and make yourself at home. If it’s your first Sunday at Awaken, we’d love to meet you—come say hello!

A few minutes before our service starts, come find a seat in the sanctuary. The whole family is welcome at the start of the service.

We’re honored to have you!

There’s no assigned seats—

sit wherever you’d like.

Next, we’ll worship together through song. We believe worship is more than music—it’s the response of God’s people to who He is and what He has done. Together, we sing to glorify God, honor the name of Jesus, and turn our hearts and attention toward Him.

If singing in church is new to you, know that you’re welcome to simply listen, and reflect on the words. Our desire is that everything we do helps us worship God in spirit and in truth.

Worship through music

(kids too!)

Learn & Grow

through preaching

After singing together, we’ll continue in worship by opening God’s Word together. Each week, a pastor teaches from the Bible as we seek to understand what God has said, how it points us to Jesus, and what it means for the way we live. We believe Scripture should inform and transform us as we learn to follow Jesus together.
