THE AWAKENING CHURCH'S FIRST SERVICE IS THIS COMING SUNDAY! A Church focusing on sub-culture groups who are tired of playing church.
Many people have asked me why we are starting on a holiday, Father's Day. This first service is dedicated to my son, Hunter David, who is in the arms of Jesus. Because of my son we are in New York City starting this church.
The Awakening Church, starting June 15 in Greenwich Village, (NYC) is a place for those tired of playing church. A place where people can come as they are. Too often, churches make us feel like we need to act or be a certain way in order to fit in. Jesus actually took a much different approach. He said, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I'm here inviting the sin-sick, not the spiritually-fit."
If you've ever felt pushed away, made fun of or rejected because you didn't fit in with the "church crowd", then we encourage you to give us a chance. Jesus came to rescue us from brokenness, sadness, anger, hurt and depression. At the Awakening Church we're here to help you experience a love-filled relationship with Jesus that will change your life.
Pastor Dennis Minner moved to Williamsburg in 2007 with his wife, Gennifer and daughter Isabella. He knows first hand how it feels to be pushed away and to feel worthless before God.
After years of turning to sex, alcohol abuse and drugs, Dennis was rescued through the life-changing power of a relationship with Jesus Christ. He now has compassion to reach out and show others how they too can experience what he has: forgiveness, love, mercy, grace and ultimately, a new life.
Joseph Cuozzo, lead singer of Beauty for Ashes, will be leading worship.
