We have a long history of using technology for ministry and bringing in people from our community to help.
When we started as a church, volunteers developed this website using WordPress.
In 2016, a volunteer developed video streaming software which made it possible for Awakening and River of Life Church in Jacksonville, NC to serve live streams for only $4 a month.
In 2017 and 2019, several volunteers helped build our own computers for live video production.
And now, we’re gathering people to help Awakening and other churches in new ways.
We have an annual nonprofit grant from Microsoft paying for all of our cloud computing in Azure to allow us to create and try new things.
And we partnered with FaithTech Silicon Valley for an online community space.
We have several opportunities to jump in and help our mission. Join us!
