Awaken Church

Founded 16 years ago, Awaken Church has at its heart the Great Commission to win souls and make disciples of all nations. It's a church that impacts the city and influences the nations towards Jesus Christ and has a culture and atmosphere of faith, hope and love. Based in San Diego and with a campus in Salt Lake City, the church works to develop leaders and empower people to become all that God had purposed and destined for their lives. Awaken Church, formerly known as C3 San Diego, was started when Pastors Jurgen and Leanne Matthesius planted the church in 2005. From the humble beginnings meeting in hotels, school gymnasiums, performing arts centers, and at one point a hotel parking lot, Awaken Church has grown from being just a vision in Ps. Jurgen and Leanne's hearts to now being a multi-campus and multi-generational church seeing lives changed and impacted every week.
