Awaken Groups
A Social Platform for Spiritual Growth
God desires us to live in community with fellow believers! Awaken Groups provide a place to find community, accountability and fellowship outside of the church walls on Sunday mornings.
Awaken Groups at a Glance
- - Run for 13 weeks during the fall and spring each year.
- - Consists of 10-18 people per group meeting weekly in homes throughout Clarksville.
- - The format is laid back and discussion-driven. Leaders facilitate discussion-based conversations based on the previous weekend’s message, or a pre-approved curriculum.
- - Meet at various times and locations throughout the week, making it easy to find a group that works with your location and schedule.
Why should I join a Group?
Awaken Groups is one of the best ways to get more involved at Awaken. Our purpose for Awaken Groups is to provide a social platform for spiritual growth. They are a way to gather together and share life with one another, encouraging and supporting each other in life’s journey.
How do I join a Group?
We would love to help you find an Awaken Group! Sign-ups occur at the start of each semester. More information on the next semester coming soon!
Childcare Policy
Childcare is important because, like in a church service, a disruptive child takes the focus off of what is being learned/discussed. For this reason, we ask our Awaken Groups to find reliable childcare. Here is our policy on childcare:
- - Awaken Groups allows and encourages our Awaken Group leaders to coordinate their own childcare providers who will come to the host home and provide childcare if the group leaders
- decide to provide childcare.
- - We leave the number of childcare providers needed up to the discretion of the parent(s) in conjunction with the group leader(s).
- - Awaken Groups mandates that the childcare provider is paid a minimum fee of $3 per child, per day. This fee is to be paid by the parent(s) who will require the childcare during their group.
- - Awaken Groups encourages individual groups to be as generous as possible and will allow the parent(s) to pay more than the $3 per child, per day if in agreement.
