Has Church been reduced to something we consume?

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

We’re so glad you’re here! If you’re new to Awakening, we would love to get to know you and for you to get to know us! The best way to do that is by filling out a Connection Card.

As the beginning of the school year gets closer we love that we have the opportunity to partner with the Del Mar staff to set students up for success by rallying together as a church to collect school supplies and essentials for the students at Del Mar High School! At Awakening, we have committed ourselves to the belief that God gave us not just a place to meet at Del Mar, but rather a people to love. You can be part of loving on the students in greatest need here. We’ll be collecting backpacks on Sundays starting July 27th – August 10th. Please bring your backpack filled with supplies to the table outside the cafeteria! Click the link below for more details and a list of the supplies requested by Del Mar!

What is the Church? A religious organization? A building? An event you attend on Sundays?  What if our experience of church isn’t what Jesus intended?
 What if we’ve settled for something far less?

For many, the church has been reduced to something we consume—a sermon, a social media brand, an event we attend when it’s convenient. But when Jesus said, “I will build my Church,” He wasn’t talking about a building, a brand, or a once-a-week gathering.

Jesus called His new movement Ekklesia (Church), “The Called-Out Ones,” a distinctly non-religious word.

Jesus wasn’t starting a new religion; He was launching a revolution. A new way to be human. A movement of ordinary Spirit-filled people marked by extravagant generosity, bold faith, and sacrificial love. How do we return to Jesus’ vision for His Church?  What does it look like to be His Ekklesia in the heart of Silicon Valley? Join us as we rediscover what it means to be the Church Jesus envisioned.
