What happens at awaken?

Awaken is a place to find clarity about the mission Jesus gave His Church.

For two days, we explore what He commissioned His followers to do — to make Him known, to reach the nations, and to live with purpose beyond ourselves.

You won’t just hear about mission.
You’ll discover your place in it.
