Where It All Starts

At Awaken, our vision is to create followers of Jesus. This vision goes back 2,000 years when Jesus first started inviting others to follow him. But how do we follow Jesus in our world today? And why would we want to follow this path? Join us this week as we explore our vision and look at why the path of Jesus has endured for over 2,000 years.
