Gather25 is the global church gathering together like never before! Every Believer. Every Continent. Together across 25 hours.

After the service, we’re hosting a potluck-style cookout. The church will provide the meat, buns, and condiments, but the sides will be potluck-style, so feel free to bring chips, salad, fruit/veggies, or a dessert to share!
Starting on September 8th, we’ll switch back to two Sunday services at 9:30 & 11:00 am.
Wednesday nights on the Awaken property we will be hosting Firestarter: a time of fellowship, sharing a meal together, discipleship, and connection. It will start at 6:30 pm with a meal, we’ll have a short teaching at 7 pm, and then fellowship around the fires. We’ll have nursery care and an elementary class for kids from 7:00 - 7:30.

Johanna will receive the desserts on Sunday morning. The bidding will start after the service and close during the cookout. If you’re willing to bring a dessert, please email Johanna at immigrantconnectionak@gmail.com.
It’s Spring clean-up time at Awaken on a couple Wednesday nights in May! This is partly to get ready for our weekly summer Firestarter events, and partly just to take good care of our church building and property. From blowing and raking leaves, picking up trash, to splitting and stacking firewood, there’s a place for everyone of all ages and abilities to serve. It’s a great opportunity to serve together as a family and enjoy fellowship with others in the church. Dinner will be at 6:30, and work will wrap up at 8:30.
Work nights will be held on May 22nd and May 29th.
In Matthew 28:18-20, we hear these instructions from Jesus: “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Many of us read these words from Jesus but don’t feel like we know how to share the Gospel. Join a small group of us who are banding together for equipping and encouragement to make the most of the opportunities we have to share the Good News of Jesus with our friends, family, and anyone the Holy Spirit leads us to. Think of this as evangelism training 2.0! Yes, you will learn how to invite people into faith in Christ, but you will also be built up in your own faith and we will walk beside you (sometimes literally) as you step into the unique opportunities that God has given you to share His invitation to eternal life. No special personality, gifting, or knowledge required to participate; just a desire to see your friends come to know Jesus as you do.
We will be meeting for a brown bag lunch (provided by you!) following the later service on the following dates:
April 21st, April 28th, May 5th, May 19th
This will be a four-session training course. Please plan on attending all of them! If you didn’t get in on this 4-week class but are interested in joining us for the next session, please email awakenanchorage@gmail.com and we’ll be sure to let you know when that’s starting!
If you need childcare for the event, please email Heidi at awakenanchorage@gmail.com so she can have that lined up!
