Awakening develops students’ artistic gifts for use in worship; deepens their passion for God; and awakens their hearts to glimpse a vision of their own leadership in the church.
Mission of Awakening: Building Emerging Worship Leaders
Vision of Awakening: Where God’s Spirit meets with a group of people in such a profound way that it opens their eyes to God’s activity in the world, renews and gives vision to their sense of purpose and calling, and marks their lives forever.
Funding on Day of Giving will be directed toward need-based scholarships and will help further develop Awakening.
- Since 2016, 403 young adults (high schoolers) from 15 states have attended Awakening
- 33% of the Awakening students have gone on to attend Hope College, and some who have graduated from Hope have gone on to seminary.
“Awakening is not an everyday camp where you go to have fun and return to each year. It’s a camp that absolutely transforms your life for the better of spiritual guidance, maturity and in all long lasting friendships with people you never knew until you met them at Awakening. It is a movement of young people who are being equipped to move through our generations in worship while gaining similarly passionate Christian friends that will last a lifetime.” –Jacob Thomas (4 year Awakening participant)
