Our Vision
We hope to be a church where YOU can find a place to belong!
Disciple-Making
Invested Relationships
With the word, "Go"Jesus gave his followers the Great Commission. Through intentional practice we are disciples who make disciples, one invested relationship at a time.
Worshiping
The Gathering
In our services, we worship Jesus with modern music. We respect all ways people are able to worship God, quiet or loud.
Praying
Communication with God
Scripture tells us to pray continually, giving thanks in all circumstances. Prayer is the way we connect to God as friend and Father.
Blessing
Thinking of Others
God is honored when we consider others better than ourselves. We look to meet needs through active participation in our community.
All are welcome here.
Sunday Mornings
Every Sunday at 10:30A
Arrive at 10A for great coffee and conversation. Kid's programming is available during the message for birth-5th grade. Jr. high and high school meet Sunday afternoons.
Monthly Meal
Monthly on 2nd Thursdays at 6P
This is an open dinner at Awake Church for all in Richland County who want to share a meal with friends. Different community groups and non-profits take turns cooking, but we all enjoy it together. Complimentary pantry items are given away as early as 5:30P
Share Life
Life is better together.
Ask about our on-going and seasonal opportunities to connect with others and God through Scripture. We have groups for moms, online only, young adult, youth, and more. We would love to have you join us!
Serve the Neighbors
You are gifted to be a blessing.
Faith with action is how we thrive as followers of Jesus. We have fun serving together both inside and outside the walls of the building. Sign up for our weekly emails to receive updates on new and upcoming opportunities.
Plan Your Visit
LOCATION
We are easy to find 3616 State Route 39 on the south side of Shelby, Ohio. Service starts at 10:30 a.m. but arrive 15 minutes early to meet friends, check out the kids' classrooms, and enjoy a cup of coffee.
FOR THE KIDS
Children are welcome in the service or check them in to our excellent children's ministry! Elementary students are dismissed before the message, preschool runs the whole service. For active babies, the service is streamed in the nursery so grownups don't miss a thing.
BIBLES
We refer to Scripture often during the message. You can borrow one of our NLT Bibles or bring your own to read from. We also recommend downloading the YouVersion Bible app for ease of translations and to connect with others during the week.
SERVICE ORDER
We will spend time praying, singing songs, hearing Scripture, and responding how God leads.
Before and during the service we have open response stations. All are invited to participate, no matter your church experience. These include lighting candles, adding names to a prayer frame, and an open time to kneel quietly up front.
Communion is offered once a month and all who have made Jesus their Savior and Lord are welcome to receive the elements.
