We exist to awaken this generation to new life in Jesus Christ.

a note from Ryan
As we enter the holiday season, it’s easy to feel swept up in the rush—shopping lists, travel plans, and countless gatherings filling every corner of our lives. But what if, this Christmas, we embraced a different kind of preparation? One that doesn’t just fill our schedules but fills our souls.
This Advent season at Awakening, I want to invite you to slow down with us, to truly behold what Christmas is all about. Our new series, Behold: How to Worship the King, is designed to help us make space in our hearts and lives for the presence of Jesus. Not the hurried, distracted version of Christmas we so often experience, but a season where we actually prepare—deeply, intentionally, and with open hearts—to encounter the King.
This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to ‘prepare Him room’ in a way that transforms us from the inside out. Together, let’s step into this Christmas season with fresh eyes, making room for the One who changed everything. I hope you’ll join us as we pause, reflect, and discover the joy of true worship.
This season, let’s not just celebrate Christmas—let’s experience it.
We would love for you to get connected and be a part of what is happening in our church! On our Events page, you will find information on Awakening 101 THIS Sunday, the Del Mar Giving Fund, Youth events, and more! Click below to see our regularly updated events and ministry calendars.

Prepare the Way
Christmas often feels like a blur—constant noise, endless lists, the pressure to keep up. But beneath all the hustle, there’s a deeper longing for something real. What if this Christmas could be different?
Imagine a season not marked by rushing but by a deep, soul-restoring peace found in the presence of Jesus. Behold: How to Worship the King is more than just a sermon series; it’s an invitation to rediscover the one thing that can quiet the chaos within–God’s presence.
In this series, we’ll learn to slow down, cut through the noise, and prepare our hearts for a life-changing encounter with God. Together, we’ll make room for the King, see Him in new ways, and worship with renewed wonder and joy.
