about Us

waken Life Church Diverse Outreach Team in front of building smiling

We are a church rooted in the fivefold ministry, dedicated to practicing the presence of God.

We seek to remain continuously connected to Him, living in desperate dependence, moment by moment, abiding in the boundless love of God.

Our vision is to awaken and empower God's church to impact our culture; connecting people to God's love, grace, and to their true identity in Christ.

Our Beliefs

  • We believe that there is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator, and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

  • We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man."

  • The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
    We believe in the ongoing, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister super-naturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4, is poured out on believers that they might have God’s power to be His witnesses.

  • We believe that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

  • We believe that humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death, and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin. However, anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing, and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

  • We believe that the Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His Church the ordinances of baptism and communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, and discipling the nations – baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.

    We believe in the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign with His overcoming bride – the Church.

  • We believe that heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the lost and the saved, the one to everlasting death and the other to everlasting life.

Pastors Daniel and Joy Willett

We are on a mission to awaken and empower His church in all that God has called us to be, through His truth, love, and grace.

In 2011, I (Joy) became bed-ridden for months with a heart condition, that led to a radical encounter with the Lord through an instant miracle in my heart! We have never been the same again, and have been passionate about praying for healing from that moment on!

At Awaken Life Church, we focus on facilitating encounters with God’s Presence, through worship, prayer, the Word, and activation in the Spirit.

We are a five-fold ministry that equips the SAINTS for the work of service—to walk in the fullness of His love, joy, authority, and power of the Holy Spirit.

If you are a believer in Jesus, then we believe YOU are the church!

If you are not a believer yet, then we can’t wait to introduce you to the REAL living God, as His true nature is revealed in Jesus Christ.

We invite you to go on the journey with us to discover who this Jesus really is, and what that means for YOUR life.
