Awaken is a church that is fresh, real, powerful, and has at its heart the Great Commission to win souls and make disciples of all nations. We are a church that impacts the city and influences the nations towards Jesus Christ. We are a church that has a culture and atmosphere of faith, hope, and love, and a church that develops leaders and empowers people to become all that God had purposed and destined for their lives.

Thanks for joining us on such a special night!

Our prayer is that you can join us at one of our Awaken Church campuses — a church where you and your family can feel at home, at peace and awakened to God’s potential for your life.

With Love,

Ps. Jurgen + Leanne & the Awaken team

Not only will Night of Christmas be giving back to the homeless in our city, but we are also investing in San Diego’s foster children. This evening we are collecting gifts from attendees that are going to the organizations Promises2Kids and Olive Crest. We are excited to engage our community in providing the foster children in San Diego County with a gift to open this Christmas. There are over 3,000 foster kids in San Diego, and all toys received will go to these organizations to distribute directly to our city’s foster children.

If you weren’t able to bring a gift, but would like to be a part of brightening up someone’s Christmas, you can donate money to Awaken Missions which will use those fund to buy more gifts for those two non-profits.
