AWAKENING SENIOR PASTORS

APOSTLES MARK AND NANCY

Serving and shepherding this community as Lead Pastors of Awakening Church is truly an honor. Our mission is to build and advance the Kingdom of God through you by discipling you in your relationship with God, His Word, and operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Awakening Church is more than just a place to gather; it’s a home where you can encounter God’s love, deepen your faith, and find a community that genuinely supports and walks alongside you.

Our journey of discovering a personal relationship with Jesus has shown us how powerful and life-changing His love truly is. We are passionate about creating a space where everyone can experience His presence, grow in their faith, and step into the fullness of what He has for them.

Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here. We can’t wait to see what God will do in your life!

At Awakening Church, our mission is to build and advance the Kingdom of God through you by discipling you in your relationship with God, His Word, and operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Living out the principles of Acts 2:42-47, we strive to be a community devoted to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and unity.

We Worship
Our worship is a time of wholehearted expression, where we come together to lift up the name of Jesus with passion and joy. Through a blend of contemporary and gospel music, we seek to create an atmosphere that draws us into the presence of God by making us more aware of His nearness—stirring our hearts to express our adoration to Him more freely and deeply and letting His presence transform us.

We Connect
At Awakening Church, we believe every person is fearfully and wonderfully made, uniquely gifted by God to be a light in this world. As Psalm 139:13-14 reminds us, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

We are committed to equipping believers through teaching, training, and fellowship, fostering unity in faith and a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13).

We Serve
At Awakening Church, we believe God has placed a unique purpose and calling on your life. You are not here by accident—your gifts, talents, and passions were designed by Him for a reason. Our heart is to help you discover and step into that purpose, equipping you to use your God-given gifts to serve both within the church and in the world around you. Whether through ministry, outreach, or acts of service, we want to provide opportunities for you to grow, make a difference, and walk fully in God's calling for your life. You were made for more; we’re here to support and encourage you to step into all He has for you.

We Grow
At Awakening Church, we believe spiritual growth is essential. We are committed to equipping believers through studying God’s Word, living by its truth, and empowering them to use their God-given gifts. Our community is built on discipleship and service, helping each person grow into spiritual maturity.

Our Beliefs

Our Foundational Truths consist of the 16 doctrines that are non-negotiable tenets of faith to which Awakening Church adheres to. We believe the words of 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

Awakening Church: 16 Foundational Truths are intended simply as a basis of fellowship among us (i.e., that we all speak the same thing, 1 Corinthians 1:10; Acts 2:42). This does not cover all Biblical truth, only these foundational doctrines.
