Grow

During the summer at Awakening, one of our primary goals as a church is to continue growing deeper in our understanding of scripture and who God is outside of our Sunday experience. We do that through offering what we call Summer Studies! 


Using the Enneagram to Grow in Jesus (Personal Growth Track)

The Enneagram is a detailed personality assessment that provides us with a unique lens with which to view ourselves and others; specifically our internal motivations. This class will be centered around how the Enneagram is best used as a tool that leads us to step into the transformation that God extends to us in Christ. In this 3-week class we will cover all 9 personality profiles, some stereotypes among them, self-care methods for each type, and how best to relate to one another in our interpersonal relationships.

Bible Reading Group, Luke-Acts (Foundations Track)

The Bible was originally experienced predominantly as an auditory experience: the first Christians heard the word of the Lord before they read it. There’s power in gathering together to simply read and pray through what God is saying in his Word. Join this class to read completely through Luke-Acts. Each class will be filled with a simple reading of a large portion of the Scriptures and some fellowship.
