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.
Controversial Jesus | Part 3: Jesus & Sexuality
In the age of consumer reviews and social media shaming, there is a tendency to confine to the mold of society’s expectation of us. And yet Jesus offers a vision of human flourishing that stands at odds with the cultural value system of our day. We tend to forget that His teaching was as radical and controversial in His day as it is in ours.
Join us as we go through Matthew 5:17-37 and look at what Jesus says about some of today’s most controversial issues and what it means to follow Jesus. Missed last weeks sermon? Click below to watch!
The White Balloons is becoming The White TENT
Behind the connection cart you will find a hub for people who are new to Awakening. This is a space we encourage you to point new people as well as your own guests to. At The White Tent (previously known the white balloons) there will be treats & gifts, staff members & connection team members excited to welcome and get to know those who are new to our community!
40 Days of Prayer
For the next 40 days, we will reflect on scripture and pray. We will be reminded of Jesus’s radical love for the outsider. We will be challenged to activate our lives around his purposes. To be his voice of redemption. To be his hands and feet of restoration, asking God to use us in his transformation of the Bay.
Our hope is that this 40 day journey will change us from the inside out. To first start with the transformation and surrender of our own hearts, spilling out into our community as we act as agents of God’s mercies in a world desperate for beauty, love, and the abundant life that only Jesus can provide.

Interest Meeting
Awakening is preparing to launch a Young Professionals Ministry and we need your help! We are seeking the perspective and interest of those who would like to find out more and potentially explore joining this new ministry.

Join the Café Team!
As the weather starts to cool down we would love to bring back hot coffee to Café and say goodbye to cold brew until next summer. In order to make this happen we need you! It takes more hands than we have to make this possible, and we know how much Awakening loves their hot coffee. Join the Café Team and help us bring back the hot coffee!
