Awaken Church Events
We have several ongoing weekly event at Awaken that are shown here, and our additional events are described below.
Mondays from 10 - 11 am: Women’s exercise class in the theater. Childcare is available! Contact Anna at 907-202-3420 if you plan to attend.
Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays from 4:45 - 5:45: Men’s kettlebell workout in the theater. Contact Levi at 907-748-4197 if you plan to attend, as they occasionally don’t meet due to building use conflicts.
Wednesdays from 12-12:30: Prayer time in the Gathering Room. Join us for a time of prayer for God's anointing on Awaken Church as we do all that we can to fulfill the Great Commission. We will be praying for opportunities to share the Good News and for boldness when those opportunities come along. If you are not experienced in prayer or are intimidated by the thought of having to pray in public, don't worry! We will not be putting you on the spot. Just come and participate! Acts 2:42 "All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals, and to prayer."
Tuesdays from 7 - 8 pm: Prayer time in the Gathering Room. Tuesday nights bring an evening opportunity for prayer. Drop in any week if you’d like to receive prayer or if you want to join in prayer for our church and our community.

IF: One Night
Ladies, you’re invited to join us for IF: One Night 2026! This women’s simulcast is a great opportunity to gather with other women for a time of worship and teaching by great Bible teachers. The theme this year is “For such a time as this.” This theme is an invitation for all of us. In a moment where the world feels chaotic and uncertain, the gospel is changing lives in powerful ways. People are finding freedom. A new generation is responding to the gospel. Communities are gathering. The harvest is ripe. This is a time to wake up to what God is doing and step into the purpose He has placed on our lives. We’d love for both women and teen girls to attend!
Doors will open at 5:30, and we’ll stream the event from 6-10 pm. It will be a late night, but it will be worth it! We’ll serve charcuterie and other snacks and drinks.
